Carole Divall

Inside the Regiment (eBook, ePUB)

The Officers and Men of the 30th Regiment During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this companion volume to her pioneering study Redcoats Against Napoleon, Carole Divall tells the fascinating inside story of a typical infantry regiment during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. Rather than focusing on the history of the 30th Regiment of the Line in action and on campaign, she explores its organization, traditions and hierarchy, its personnel, and the ethos that held it together. Using primary source material, in particular surviving regimental records, War Office documents, letters and journals, Divall reconstructs the life of the 30th Foot - and the lives of the men who served in it - during a critical period in Europes military history.
