REDCOATS OF WELLINGTON’S LIGHT DIVISION IN THE PENINSULAR WAR Unpublished and Rare Memoirs of the 52nd Regiment of Foot

Several of these accounts have been published previously. For example, the Corunna Journal of Charles Paget appeared as With Moore to Corunna in 2018, edited by Charles Esdaile, but the fuller version here includes his journal for the Walcheren expedition; Major Rowan’s letter appeared in the Life and Opinions of General Sir Charles Napier in 1857; while Captain Ewart’s letter, and the letters of Lieutenant Booth and Lieutenant Davies were originally published in various issues of the 43rd & 52nd Light Infantry Chronicle. All the accounts benefit from numerous informative footnotes provided by the editors that would not have accompanied their original publication.
