This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir John Moore died at the height of his glory, having just defeated Marshal Soult’s French forces at the Battle of Corunna in 1809 during the Peninsular War. On his lips as he died he hoped that the British Public would remember him and that they would be proud that he had done his duty. However, his Peninsular glory was only the swansong to a remarkable career in the British Army, born in 1761 to Dr. John Moore, a well-known Glasgow doctor, his achievements and service span some thirty years. He first saw action during the American War of Independence in 1778 and was to see much more in the limited campaigns around the world, before the Wars of the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon, in campaigns in Corsica, the West Indies and Ireland. By 1799 he was a Major-General and part of a new breed of British Officer, more humane in his treatment of the troops under his command and a stickler for training. In 1808 he was sent to take over command of the British forces in Spain and Portugal, knowing that he had been given command of the only field army that Britain possessed he was initially cautious. However being given false evidence of stout Spanish resistance he marched his men into Spain; however in reality he was the only formed body of troops standing in the way of all of Napoleon’s armies. Determined to do some good and perhaps escape intact, Sir John led his men against the outlying corps of Marshal Soult, although he was forced to run full tilt toward Corunna as Napoleon sent all of his mighty legions after him. To Moore’s eternal credit he was able to win the Battle of Corunna, embark the majority of his soldiers for further battles and give Spain, Portugal and Britain time to engineer the successes of later years. A fitting biography of one of Britain’s unsung heroes.

Download or read book Sir John Moore written by Janet Macdonald and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir John Moore is perhaps the second most famous British soldier of the Napoleonic Wars after the Duke of Wellington, yet his remarkable career has been neglected in comparison to his celebrated contemporary. His death in battle at Corunna overshadows the wide range of his earlier campaigns and his achievements as an innovative soldier. Janet Macdonalds fluently written and insightful biography focuses on the development of his character as well as his career as a commander. From it emerges a many-sided portrait of a fascinating man and an outstanding soldier, a key figure in the history of the British army. Admired by his peers but distrusted by his political masters, Moore was a controversial figure. He is best known for saving the British army in Spain by leading the retreat to Corunna, but he is also credited with developing the training system that enabled Wellingtons army to beat the French in Spain and at Waterloo. Janet Macdonalds account will rekindle interest in a leading actor in the struggle against the French revolutionary and Napoleonic armies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, As his corse to the rampart we hurried.’ —from ‘The Burial of Sir John Moore at Corunna’ by Charles Wolfe One of the best remembered poems in the English language has served to keep alive the memory of Sir John Moore and of his burial at Corunna on 17 January, 1809. The story of the battle which he fought on the previous day and of the short campaign and horrifying retreat which preceded it is, however, not so well known. The Battle of Corunna saved a British army from annihilation and resulted in the tragic death of one of England’s finest generals. Setting out from Lisbon in the autumn of 1808, Sir John Moore had marched his army into Spain against Napoleon and by a daring manoeuvre had thrown it across the line of French communications. But, having thus drawn off Napoleon’s army from Madrid, Moore found himself so outnumbered and with no hope of assistance from the ineffectual Spanish armies, that he decided to withdraw to the coast. After a 250-mile retreat across the mountains of Galicia under appalling weather conditions, with inadequate food supplies and the French hard on his heels, he eventually reached the port of Corunna. Here he turned and drew up his depleted forces to face Marshal Soult’s massive army; and, though mortally wounded in the ensuing battle, he lived long enough to learn that the French had been checked and that his own army would be able to embark in safety. In Corunna extensive use is made of the many eyewitness accounts which survive in the form of official despatches, histories, diaries, memoirs and letters. With the aid of these, Christopher Hibbert not only shows a remarkable understanding of John Moore and his fellow officers, of their conflicting characters and views, but also provides a horrifying picture of the hardships of this brief and bitter campaign.
