The second instalment in a remarkable three-part study that transformed the research material available to the English-speaking student of the Peninsular War.Most know that Wellington''s Portuguese troops were praised as the ''fighting cocks'' of his army; fewer appreciate that they represented between half and one-third of his entire forces.

Osprey are confident in boasting that this remarkable three-part study will transform the research material available to the English-speaking student of the Peninsular War. Most know that Wellington''s Portuguese troops were praised as the ''fighting cocks'' of his army; fewer appreciate that they represented between half and one-third of his entire forces. Similarly, most uniform historians have been limited to a few half-understood paintings by Dighton, and brief notes from secondary sources. René Chartrand''s recent primary research in Portuguese and British archives now offers a wealth of important new material. This second volume covers the light infantry, cavalry, specialist corps and several supporting military and civilian departments

The political situation in Ireland at the beginning of the 20th century was characterised by crisis and change. Armed rebellion against the British Crown, the prosecution of the Anglo-Irish War, the emergence of the Irish Free State, and the eruption of the Civil War over the treaty with Great Britain ensured that the birth of the modern Irish nation was bloody and difficult. This book details the life of an average Volunteer, and includes the experiences of internment, the lack of established medical facilities for wounded, life on the run, discipline, and typical duties.

Confederate Artilleryman 1861–65
E-bok

Läs direkt efter köp
An illustrated exploration of what it was like to be a Confederate Artilleryman in the American Civil War.In the heady days of the rush to arms in 1861, comparatively few Southern men volunteered for service in the artillery: most preferred the easily accessible glory of the infantry or cavalry. Yet those that did quickly earned the respect of their fellow soldiers, and a reputation for being able to "pull through deeper mud, ford deeper springs, shoot faster, swear louder ... than any other class of men in the service". Given that field artillery was invariably deployed in front of the troops that it was supporting, the artillerymen were exposed to a high level of enemy fire, and losses were significant.This title guides the reader through the life and experiences of the Confederate cannoneer - where he came from; how he trained and lived; how he dressed, ate and was equipped; and how he fought.

Following the battle of Bussaco on 27 September 1810 Wellington''s heavily outnumbered troops began to withdraw towards Lisbon.By the evening of 9 October the British and Portuguese began to withdraw behind a line of defensive works that had been built to the north of Lisbon. These were not the rudimentary field works that the French anticipated, but an enormous network of forts, batteries and redoubts whose construction had been started the previous November - the Lines of Torres Vedras.This 30-mile-wide line utilised the area''s natural defences, damming rivers, scarping hillsides, blocking roads and establishing forts upon almost all of the hills. Packed with illustrations throughout, this book describes its design, creation and effectiveness in the face of French attacks.

Salamanca was the most decisive battle of the entire Peninsular War. This detailed, illustrated volume recounts its progression, alongside full-colour maps and illustrations.Wellington smashed Marmont''s French Army and his pursuit of its shattered remnants led to the famous cavalry charge of the King''s German Legion at Garcia Hernandez. There would be two more years of sieges and hard fighting before the Iron Duke crossed the Pyrenees into France but from Salamanca the British and their Portuguese and Spanish allies always had the upper hand.Ian Fletcher examines this important battle in detail and also discusses the campaign which led up to it.

A compact, fully-illustrated guide to a strategic British victory that forced the French troops out of occupied Spain.Despite Wellington''s success against Marmont''s army at Salamanca in July, the year of 1812 ended in bitter disappointment for the British. However, a year later Wellington''s series of brilliant manoeuvres threw the French onto the defensive on all fronts, culminating in the final victory at Vittoria: 90,000 men and 90 guns attacking in four mutually supporting columns.The French centre gave way and both flanks were turned, their army finally breaking in flight towards Pamplona. Any French hopes of maintaining their position in the Peninsular were crushed forever. On 7 October the British set foot on the ''sacred soil'' of'' Napoleon''s France.

Badajoz 1812 analyses the storming of Badajoz, which involved Wellington''s infantry in some of the most savage hand-to hand fighting of the whole Peninsular War.At appalling cost in a nightmare assault during the night of the 6 April 1812, Wellington''s soldiers hacked their way over the bodies of their dead and wounded and through the huge medieval walls of the town. These were held with great tenacity, skill and courage by a resolute French and German garrison.Having stormed the town the battle-crazed army went berserk and the horrors of the sacking which followed, as much as the sublime courage of the attackers, have passed into legend.
