Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of British Generals Distinguished During the Peninsular War, Vol. 1 of 2 Many differences of Opinion will probably be ex pressed as to the judgment displayed in the present selection. Some readers may say, why is this General preferred, and that General omitted? The answer is, that it was necessary, to make a limit, and that the Work is offered, not as comprising the whole, but as merely a small cohort from the distinguished band. It will be easy to add to the list if more should be required. Fourteen generals of repute are included in this list. One only of the number was what may be termed old Sir Thomas Graham - and be was only sixty when he fought and Won, with marvellous promptitude and audacity, the Battle of Barrosa. The rest were in the prime vigour of their days, with strength and activity of body which seconded the energy of the mind. Without this happy combina tion of mental and physical attributes, the duties of a general in the field will hang heavily on him who has to perform them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of British Generals Distinguished During the Peninsular War, Vol. 2 of 2 Of Ciudad rodrigo, Badajos, and St. Sebastian, has animated the stormers Of Sebastopol. We have seen that want Of practice is not accompanied by any deficiency in noble daring. There is much in the career of Sir Thomas Picton for the young soldier to study with ad vantage. His rise was slow; he encountered many dif ficulties; he was the subject Of a violent persecution, which for a time cast a cloud upon his name and pros peets; by steady perseverance he surmounted Opposition.

This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although biographies of Duke of Wellington abound, there few biographies of the generals that fought alongside him and executed his orders (or in some cases disobeyed them). The author John William Cole was well placed to provide the details of their lives being a long serving soldier in the British Army; his portraits are full of descriptive detail, without being too biased, he discusses the contentious issues as well as the victories they achieved. From the fiery, foul-mouthed Picton, respected but not loved by his men, to the quiet dignified “Daddy” Hill, who was adept at taking care of his own troops as well as surprising the French; the British generals were a diverse group worthy of individual attention that the author gave them. This volume chronicles the lives of No. VIII. — SIR THOMAS PICTON. No. IX. — LORD LYNEDOCH. No. IX. — EARL OF HOPETOUN. No. X. — LORD HILL. No. XII. — MAJOR-GENERAL LE MARCHANT. No. XII. — MAJOR-GENERAL ROSS. No. XIII. — SIR EDWARD PAKENHAM. Author – John William Cole (????-1870)

Download or read book Wellington's Peninsular War Generals & Their Battles written by T. A. Heathcote and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2010-06-19 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wellington's achievements in the Peninsular War cannot be overestimated. At the outset in 1808 Napoleon and his Marshals appeared unstoppable. By the close Wellington and his Army had convincingly defeated the French and taken the war across the Pyrenees into France itself. He and his Generals had waged a hugely successful campaign both by conventional means and guerrilla warfare.This book contains the pithy biographies of some forty senior officers who served Wellington, in the majority of cases, so ably during this six year war. Many had experience of battle prior to the Peninsular and went on to greater heights thereafter. There is a section summarizing the major engagements that this 'band of brothers' took part in. The book is arranged in alphabetical order and each thoroughly researched entry places its subject's life in his historical and political context. The result is a highly entertaining, informative and authoritative book.

Download or read book Wellington's Brigade Commanders written by Ron McGuigan and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research into the Duke of Wellington's armies during the Peninsular War and the Waterloo campaign has enhanced our understanding of the men he led, and this new biographical guide to his brigade commanders is a valuable contribution to this growing field. Ron McGuigan and Robert Burnham have investigated the lives and careers of a group of men who performed a vital role in Wellington's chain of command. These officers were the brigadiers and major generals who, for a variety of reasons, never made the jump to become permanent division commanders. Their characters, experience and level of competence were key factors in the successes and failures of the army as a whole. Their biographies give us a fascinating insight into their individual backgrounds, their strengths and weaknesses, and the makeup of the society they came from. Each biography features a table covering essential information on the individual, his birth and death dates, the dates of his promotions and details of his major commands. This is followed by a concise account of his life and service.
