A finely written account of the war in Spain by a serving British
officer
Moyle Sherer, a young officer of the 34th Regiment of Foot-The
Cumberland Gentlemen-has brought a writers eye and pen to his
experiences of life on campaign and on the battlefield as a member
of Wellington's Army fighting Napoleon's French during the
Peninsular Campaign of the Napoleonic Wars. The reader will be
treated to rare detail of action, countryside, friends, foes and
uniform often missing from the works of less able authors. Sherer
was present at Busaso and Albuera among other engagements and his
descriptions of the actions and their aftermaths are graphic,
riveting and chilling. This red-coated infantryman's chronicle of
the war in Spain has long been highly regarded as one of the best
memoirs of the period making it essential for serious and casual
students alike.
