No regiment in Wellington’s Peninsular army matched the 95th Rifles. Unlike red-coated Line regiments, Riflemen acted independently, selecting their own targets, and many recorded their experiences with greater literacy. While memoirs by figures such as Harry Smith and Johnny Kincaid are well known, they were often edited for Victorian audiences. Gareth Glover’s research uncovers previously unpublished or contemporary accounts, revealing the realities of battlefield life, camp gossip, and the Light Division’s command, offering a more honest, rounded picture of this famed regiment.
