ENSIGN BELL IN THE PENINSULAR WAR - THE EXPERIENCES OF A YOUNG
BRITISH SOLDIER WITH THE 34TH REGIMENT 'THE CUMBERLAND GENTLEMEN'
IN THE NAPOLEONIC WARS This book is one of the least known accounts
of life on the battlefield and on campaign during the Peninsular
War. If its obscurity was in some way a reflection of its quality
this might be understandable, but George Bell's account is so well
written it surely deserves to be among the best known and most
highly regarded Napoleonic period memoirs. Written with youthful
enthusiasm and humour, Bell takes us to war against the French in
the company of his irrepressible Irish soldiers, Biddy Skiddy the
camp follower and the wildly eccentric Maurice Quill, the surgeon.
Packed full of dialogue and incident this is a highly entertaining
narrative and invaluable Napoleonic memoir.
