Description:This regimental history chronicles the legendary exploits of the British Army's Light Division against Napoleon in Spain and Portugal.From the outset of the Peninsular campaigns in 1808, the Light Division achieved results way beyond their scant numbers. But it was during the epic winter retreat to La Corunna that they showed their metal. Returning to the Peninsula months later, the irascible Brigadier Robert Craufurd led the Light Brigade on a terrible march to meet General Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, at Talavera. The Light Division played significant roles in the Battle of the River C�a, where the riflemen fought hard to escape Marshal Ney's trap; the Battle of Bu�aco Ridge, the Battle of Salamanca, and many others. More than a simple series of battle scenes, however, this history of the Light Division provides a wider picture of campaigning during the Napoleonic Wars and sheds light on the life of a 19th century light infantry soldier.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
