Hardback 235 pages + plate section in colourPublished Price £25 Few regiments in Wellington's Peninsular army rivalled the 95th Rifles in reputation or distinctiveness. Trained to operate with marked independence and to select individual targets, Riflemen diverged sharply from the red-coated Line; this ethos encouraged a literate culture among some officers and men, producing celebrated memoirs by Harry Smith, Johnny Kincaid, Harris and Costello.
