The Rifle Brigade, one of the most distinguished regiments in the British army, was formed in the early years of the nineteenth century, when England was in the midst of its long struggle with Napoleon. Known at first as the Ninety-fifth Rifles, it had the great advantage of being trained, from the beginning, by officers who were not merely enthusiastic, but thoughtful and in advance of their time and the fruits of this training were seen on many a battlefield from Corunna to the crowning glory of Waterloo. In these days, when the magazine rifle has reached so high a degree of precision as to be deadly at a range of more than a mile, it is not easy for us to realize how clumsy were the weapons with which our soldiers won their most famous victories. Until the general adoption of the rifle about sixty years ago, the fire-arm in common use was the Brown Bess, a heavy smooth-bore musket, whose effective range was scarcely two hundred yards, and which could not be depended on to hit a mark at one hundred.
