Wellington's Regiments: The Men and Their Battles, 1808-15

A military account of Wellington's armies from 1808 to 1815, including service records of every infantry and cavalry regiment that served in this period. Wellington's army was a superb fighting machine which blazed a trail of glory across the Iberian Peninsula from Portugal to southern France, fighting a score of major battles and storming three powerfully held fortresses. The army and each of its actions were later awarded with battle honours.

Written by a leading authority on the Peninsular War, this superb book will without a doubt appeal to all military historians, battlefield guides, militaria collectors, modellers and wargamers alike.

Wellington's Regiments is in fact a re-issue of a fascinating book detailing the twenty four actions (from the battle of Rolica early in the Peninsular War in 1808 through to the famous Battle of Waterloo in 1815) in which the "Iron Duke's" troops bravely fought and for which, they were subsequently to be awarded coveted battle honours.

An unbelievable thirty two pages of beautiful full colour plates, together with many splendid maps, diagrams, photographs and drawings bring the book "to life" and support the fascinating text that cleverly covers the service record of every single cavalry and infantry regiment that served under this great soldier during a most interesting period in history in one brilliant volume.
