Synopsis

The rifle corps of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars are among the most recognisable of all the soldiers of that era: their distinctive dark green uniforms are as familiar as some of their exploits.

They have achieved considerable fame through the large numbers of memoirs written by members of the rifle corps as well as through modern fiction, most notably the Sharpe series. Apart from their reputation as a corps delite, the riflemen were, in their time, at the very cutting edge of military technology and tactical theory.

Philip Haythornwaite here uses fascinating first hand accounts and detailed research to give a soldiers-eye view of the British Rifleman, his life and work.
