Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prisoners of War in France, From 1804 to 1814: Being the Adventures of John Tregerthen Short and Thomas Williams of St. Ives, Cornwall Living amongst the seafaring population of St. Ives at a time when nearly every man was a sailor or connected in some way with ships and the sea, it was natural that these two young St. Ives men, who were cousins, should be attracted to a seafaring life, and they were bound in due time as apprentices to their uncle, Josias Sincock, of St. Ives, master and part owner of the brig Friendship of London. The Friendship, a vessel of 150 tons burthen, was built at Swansea in 1801, and upon the voyage, which was to end in her capture by the French privateer, she appears to have sailed from St. Ives on the second day of January, 1804. Arriving in due course in the Thames, she was there laden with Government stores - chiefly sheet-copper, said to be valued at 80,000 - and received orders to proceed to Devonport Dockyard. The year 1804 found this country engaged in the long and bitter struggle with France. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Narrative of a forced journey through Spain and France as a prisoner of war in the years 1810 to 1814 written by Major-General Lord Andrew Thomas Blayney and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major-General Lord Andrew Thomas Blayney although previously a successful commander of his own regiment the 89th Regiment of Foot of the British through-out the early stages of the Peninsular war, he is best known for his narrative of events after his capture by Polish forces fighting under the flag of Napoleonic France. Blayney was the leader of an ill-fated Anglo-Spanish force which was assigned the task of attacking from Cadiz toward Malaga, culminating the battle of Fuengirola on 15th October 1810. Outnumbering his Polish foes by a huge margin, a series of unfortunate accidents on the allied side and brave and heroic resistance on the Polish side led to a debacle and his capture. It should be noted that this was far from the only amphibious disaster led by the British in the Peninsular Wars that should throw further perspective on the victories of the main British army under Wellington. Blayney’s narrative along with some idiosyncratic spelling recounts his journey from Andulusia to Verdun in the north-east of France. During his journey from one outpost to another as a paroled prisoner he meets a number of famed French generals, as befitted his rank, such as Sébastiani, Kellermann, Belliard and even Marshal Bessiéres who treat him on the whole well. He winds his way through the countryside, and he tells many tales of the people and surroundings that he finds himself somewhat forcibly journeying through. The main strength of the narrative is the author’s eye to detail and his flair for recounting a tale, along with the real rarity of accounts from the point of view of an English prisoner of war. Published in two volumes this is the second volume. Author - Major-General Lord Andrew Thomas Blayney, 11th Baron Blayney [30 November 1770 – 8 April 1834]
