The British Army Against Napoleon
Author: Robert Burnham
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1473812712
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Despite the bewildering number of tomes devoted to the Napoleonic wars, much basic data as been hitherto unavailable to anyone other than the most ardent scholars. McGuigan and Burnham have collected a tremendous treasure trove of information in a readily accessible form. Other books may tell you how many regiments were sent on the expedition to Hanover in 1805, but The British Army against Napoleon will tell you where every single regiment in the British army was stationed, who were their honorary colonels, and give you a list of all the barracks in Britain with the number of men they were designed to hold. Where else will you find not just the pay of different ranked officers but the amount of income tax they paid, as well as all the other deductions and stoppages that reduced their actual receipts to a fraction of their nominal (and generally quite low) pay? Or pension charts for widows? There are tables that list all the recipients of the honours and awards issued, casualties in action and disease, seniority of officers of the numerous expeditions and campaigns (a matter not just of curiosity but of major significance, for the date of rank of an officer determined who commanded the force and all of its sub-units.) The material in these tables has been collected from countless primary sources and official publications such as the Army List, London Gazette, Wellington s Dispatches, regimental histories, artillery manuals, and handbooks.

Author: Charles E. Stebbins
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1616631392
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Our freedom is not free Go to any cemetery and see Look for any serviceman's grave See what price he had to pay Freedom comes at a high cost. Men and women are willing to fight and die for our great country, and they encounter some of the greatest emotional struggles of all. Soldiers have families and loved ones they miss dearly while miles away in the heart of battle. Soldiers have lost friends while fighting. Soldiers have formed lifelong friendships with those that make it through the battle with them. Here, in A Soldier's Poem Book, readers will gain insight into the heart of mind of some of our country's finest, the ones willing to pay the price for the freedom we enjoy. Many times, long after the battles end, these are the thoughts of a dedicated soldier, husband, father, and God-fearing man. These pages are a reminder that many have served and many more will serve to keep our country strong under God.
