Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters and journals written by a young British soldier during the Peninsular War. The author, George Simmons, was a surgeon in the Royal South Lincolnshire Militia when he volunteered to join the 95th Rifles in 1809. His letters home provide a vivid account of the hardships and dangers faced by the British army during the campaign. Simmons describes the battles of Roliça, Vimeiro, and Talavera, and gives a fascinating insight into the life of a soldier in the Peninsular War. His keen observations on the Portuguese people and the French army add depth to the historical record. The Peninsular War was a brutal and bloody conflict, and Simmons' letters do not shy away from the horrors of war. He describes the suffering of the wounded and the death of his comrades in graphic detail. However, he also writes of the courage and camaraderie of the British soldiers, and his letters are full of admiration for the leadership of Sir Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. Simmons' letters are a valuable historical document, providing a unique perspective on one of the most important conflicts in British history. They are also a moving and personal account of the experiences of a young man who fought and died in the Peninsular War. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332165377_0
