Download or read book Recollections Of An Officer Of Napoleon’s Army written by Captain Elzéar Blaze and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many memoirs of the Napoleonic period are recounting, more or less interesting dependant on the author, of the events of their service interspersed by anecdotes of interesting events, Elzéar Blaze eschewed that style of reminiscence and left a singular view of his time in the Grande Armée. His memoirs are highly stylised, divided into the ‘themes’ of military life, and eruditely written by an educated man of the era, who combined wit with an eye for an anecdote. He covers the different aspects of his military career with amusing stories and vivid recollections of the men with which he served, a number of the generals who commanded them, and the enemies that they were fought and were billeted on if they were in occupation; he covers the school of the Vélites, his military training, the marches, camp-life, bivouacs, active campaigning, and the battles fought under Napoleon. Blaze, like his brother, sought out a military life under the eagles of Napoleon, he enlisting in the Vélites of the Imperial Guard, his brother into the medical services of the army. The Vélites were founded as part of Napoleon’s further, ultimately unsuccessful, attempts to sway the aristocracy to fall in line and support his rule. The military tutelage in the Vélites was to be supported by private means, which translated into their ranks being filled with the scions of the nobility and wealthy bourgeoisie. Blaze fought as part of Napoleon’s invincibles from 1807 until the end of the empire, but continued his service under the returned Bourbons and retired as captain in 1828. An interesting and different view of the Grande Armée.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A view of the campaigns of Wellington's famous German troops In the ranks of the red-coated soldiery of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars there were none more highly regarded by all than the men of the King's German Legion. These were men-many of them Hanoverians-whose motherlands had been over run by Napoleon's French forces in their domination of Europe and the smaller German states in particular. These were fine troops, well disciplined and highly motivated by their enmity towards the French and their desire to liberate and return to their homes. This book, originally published anonymously, but now known to have been written by John Hering, reveals the King's German Legion through his eyewitness experiences on campaign in Denmark, in Portugal and Spain and on the battlefield including the decisive conflict at Talavera.
Book Synopsis Recollections of Rifleman Harris by : Benjamin Harris
Download or read book Recollections of Rifleman Harris written by Benjamin Harris and published by . This book was released on 1848 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Recollections of Rifleman Harris constitute one of the few sources which depict the Napoleonic Wars from the viewpoint of an infantry soldier. Benjamin Harris was born in Portsmouth, England around 1781. He saw his first military action at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1807. Victorious, he and his regiment sailed back to English soil upon captured Danish vessels, and spent time recuperating. The following year, Harris and his comrades in arms were sent to Portugal - there they met stiff resistance in a series of battles, taking losses at Roliça and Vimiero. Their expedition was finally trapped in northern Spain with the remaining army of John Moore, their state dire, depleted yet determined. Harris eventually managed to depart from Vigo in Galicia, his constitution severely impacted by harsh conditions. Nevertheless, in summer of 1809 he was again ready for a new expedition: the Walcheren Campaign on the Dutch coast. Conceived as a means of opening a new front in the ongoing War of the Fifth Coalition, this mission proved ill-fated: though the troops swiftly seized the Walcheren marshlands, feverish sickness rapidly spread through the ranks, killing thousands. Transcribed from Harris' dictation in the 1830s and published in 1848, this work remains a classic wartime memoir.

Download or read book Recollections of Rifleman Harris, (Old 95th) written by Benjamin Harris and published by Echo Library. This book was released on 2017-01-18 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harris (b. 1781) was an infantryman who served in the British army during the Napoleonic Wars. He is most widely remembered today as the author of this memoir which gives a rare insight into the world of the enlisted man in Wellington's army. Most memoirs published after the war came from serving officers and the experiences of ordinary soldiers were overlooked due to widespread illiteracy at the time. Harris was himself illiterate but his recollections were recorded in the mid-1830s by an officer who knew him, Captain Henry Curling, who kept the manuscript until 1848 when he succeeded in publishing it.
