Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most unusual, as well as the most heroic and distinguished Allied units in the Napoleonic Wars was the King s German Legion (KGL). Originally composed of German volunteers from King George III s Hanovarian domain, and founded out of Royal outrage at France s occupation of Hanover in 1803, the KGL, according to David Chandler, doyen of Napoleonic military historians was without a doubt amongst the very best troops commanded by Wellington in the Peninsula and at Waterloo. The KGL was a mini-army in its own right, comprising infantry, cavalry and artillery. This classic two-volume history of the Legion by N. Ludlow is one of the best accounts of the Napoleonic Wars, praised by the great historian Sir Charles Oman as a valuable and conscientious history . and largely composed of eye-witness accounts by serving soldiers. Volume 1 begins with the bungled loss of Hanover and the raising of the KGL, and its first foreign expedition - to denmark. under Lord Rosslyn. The KGL was next deployed in the Mediterranean theatre, and had its first taste of Spain under Sir John Moore and Sir Arthur Wellesley (Wellington) where the german hussars covered the disastrous retreat to Corunna. The Legion returned to Portugal and Spain with Wellington and lost heavily at the Battle of Talavera. Other KGL units took part in Sir Eyre Coote s expedition to Flushing and Walcheren. In the Peninsula War, the Legion fought under General Craufurd, helping to defeat the French at Busaco and befoire the lines of Torres Vedras, and later participating in Wellington s vistory over Marshal Massena at Fuentes d Onoro. The voilume ends with Soult s defeat at Albuera and the siege of Badajoz. Volume 2 opens with the sieges of Badajoz and Cieudad Roderigo and the great battle of Salamanca which broke the back of the French in Spain. As Wellington rolled the enemy up to the Pyrenees, the KGL wewre also present at the battle of Vittoria. Meanwhile the KGL were also operating against Marshal Davout in the noirth of their native Germany. The Allied pressure caused Napoelon to abdicate and retire to Elba in 1814. The book s final chapter deals with the Waterloo campaign in which the KGL played a heroic part in holding the strategically vital La Haye Sainte Farm in front of the British line, against fuious French assaults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Ludlow Beamish’s famous history of the K.G.L. is undoubtedly one of the rarest and most sought-after contemporary studies of the Napoleonic Wars. Much praised by Sir Charles Oman as ‘a valuable and conscientious’ history, it was largely compiled from eye-witness accounts of serving soldiers. The Legion played a major part in the British Army in the Peninsula and this special edition is a vital addition to the library of all serious students of the Napoleonic Wars.

Excerpt: ...continued to expose themselves with a degree of devotion beyond all praise. Among the most conspicuous was Frederick Lindau, a private of the second light battalion, who although bleeding profusely from two wounds in the head, stood firmly at the small door of the barn, and from thence defended the main entrance. Baring, seeing that the cloth about his head was not sufficient to stop the effusion of blood, repeatedly called upon him to go back; but Landau regardless of his wounds, as of a large bag of gold which he had taken from the enemy, and carried about his person, refused to stir from the spot, "saying: " He would be a scoundrel that deserted you, so long as his head is on his shoulders"! This gallant fellow was afterwards taken prisoner and lost 1815-his treasure. June. More than an hour was occupied in this second Appendix assault of the farm, and now the French, tired from their fruitless efforts, again fell back. The relief thus given to the Germans may be well imagined, but the anxiety of their commander was little diminished; every new attack served more and more to impress upon him the importance of the post, and more clearly to place before his eyes the deep responsibility of the command with which he had been entrusted. Placed with a small body of men in an isolated position, on the retaining of which the lives of his soldiers, --his own honour, --perhaps the safety of the whole army depended; and where he would, in all probability be called upon to make a decision involving all these considerations--major Baring, could not but feel a painful anxiety for the result, which none of the means at his disposal were adequate to remove.
