"These lively and entertaining memoirs provide an intriguing counterpoint to Wellington's better-known operations in the Iberian Peninsula" (Julian Stockwin, author of the Thomas Kydd series).
It is often forgotten that Britain's struggle against Napoleon ranged across the continents, and the extensive operations of the Royal Navy and the British Army in the Mediterranean were key battlegrounds in this prolonged war of attrition. Even when Napoleon considered himself the master of Europe, he was unable to control the Mediterranean.
Lt. John Hildebrand arrived in the Mediterranean as part of the garrison of Malta in 1810. He was then involved in the defense of the island of Sicily; the campaign to capture the Ionian Islands; the siege of Ragusa; and the Occupation of Corfu. With the war ending in 1814, John and his regiment returned home, only to be sent to Belgium when Napoleon escaped from Elba in 1815. The regiment was not involved at Waterloo, but was at Hal, where it guarded Wellington's flank during the battle. He then marched to Paris with the army.
"Napoleonic students will enjoy this refreshingly different slant on Napoleonic warfare." -Stuart Asquith, author of
Stuart Asquith's Wargaming 18th Century Battles
"Essential reading for military historians and collectors of Napoleonic War era artifacts and militaria." -
