WELLINGTONS INFANTRY British Foot Regiments 1800-1815

Frustratingly, both the title and subtitle of this book unfortunately do not do this book real justice, Wellington’s Infantry suggesting a study of the specific regiments fighting with Wellington, which has already been ably covered by Ian Fletcher a decade ago and British Foot Regiments 1800-1815 appearing to limit the work to British line regiments in that period. In fact, it covers the entire period 1793-1815 and some much more obscure theatres where Wellington’s boots never trod; the greatest strength of this book is therefore not reflected in the title at all.
