This book-a Leonaur original-contains three rare works by members
of Wellington's green sharpshooters. The first was written by
Rifleman Knight-a personality who rarely appears in histories of
the regiment-but who fought at Waterloo and took part in the
pursuit of the French Army to Paris. He subsequently went to
Portugal to fight as a mercenary and his account of his adventures
on campaign and on the battlefield make riveting reading. Henry
Curling wielded the pen that brought to the public the well known
memoirs of Rifleman Benjamin Harris. This book contains more
military anecdotes recorded by Curling from reports of other
British soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars including several more by
Harris himself. The final piece is a short history of the Rifles by
Jonathan Leach who was an officer of the regiment and his history
directly recounts events in which he was a personal and active
participant.
