2004 N & M Press reprint of 1829 original edition. SB. xxiv + 368ppPublished Price £14.50 Harry Ross-Lewin was an Anglo-Irish soldier who, after enlisting as an ensign served and rose in rank with the First Battalion of the Duke of Cornwallâ s Light Infantry under Wellesley (later Wellington) in the Danish and Walcheren expeditions, and in the Peninsular War and the Waterloo campaign. He was present at most of the Peninsular Warâ s major engagements, including the battles of Roleia, Vimiera, Salamanca, Orthes and Toulouse. He fought in the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo - where his battalion was in the heat of the action at La Haye Saine farm, and lost 545 men out of 674. Later, as Lieutenant-Governor, Ross-Lewin ruled in both the Channel and the Ionian islands. Commended by Wellington himself, and edited by John Wardell, these memoirs offer interesting descriptions and great individual insights into a British officerâ s life during the Napoleonic Wars, and should appeal to all enthusiasts of that conflict.
