This book was released on 2010-12-31 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grenadiers à Cheval of the Imperial Guard, were the shock troops of the guard, who were committed in battle as a final reserve at a crucial moment to turn the tide to victory for the French. Charging at Marengo where they were badly bloodied by the Austrians in their first battle, they again charged decisively at Austerlitz and Eylau, and bore the brunt of the fighting from 1813, when they were expanded to two regiments. Of the regiments of the Guard, the Grenadiers à Cheval has not been widely studied or been the subject of in-depth research. The book brings together much of what is known about the Grenadiers from the regiments archive held in France and contemporary iconography to chart in detail the regiments history and uniform in minute detail. Using primary archival material held in France, this work presents the first in-depth study on this well known but little researched regiment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: November 1745. After victory at the Battle of Gladsmuir, Charles Edward Stuart rules Scotland as prince regent. Across the border, in England, the regiments of King George are massing, intent on dislodging the prince from his throne in Edinburgh. The newly formed army of Scottish Jacobites take the initiative in the war. They invade England. To disguise their lack of numbers and ensure surprise, the princes army marches through the border hills in three fast-moving columns. Lord Kilmarnocks regiment of horse grenadiers are ordered to carry out the cavalry duties that the gentlemen regiments will not undertake. They find themselves escorting the baggage and artillery train through hostile country. If they cannot rendezvous with the Jacobite army as planned, the prince will have no capacity to fight the coming campaign. Lord Kilmarnock has only a hundred and fifty horsemen for the task at hand. It is not enough. What ignoble wickedness is this? Patrick pointed the muzzle of his piece towards the sack of caltrops by the ford. It is the wickedness of war. It is the madness of folly! Patrick thrust his smoking carbine into its holster. He drew out his rapier and held the blade low. A soldier should fight with honor. Fight with honor! Is that why your gallant prince declines battle and flees into the mountains? Veres Ulster accent was heavy with contempt. The two men faced each other, a pistol shot apart. The grey gelding flared its nostrils and stamped its foot on the road. Patrick placed his hand on the animals neck to calm its keenness. Aye, we are retreating, true enough. But before we depart, I will see that the crows gorge themselves on your flesh! Test your mettle if you have the courage. The Irishman brandished his musket in the air causing sunlight to glint off the steel of the bayonet. But before you face my fury, prepare yourself first to face the wrath of God. There is surely enough room in hell for the both of us!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: February 1746. The rebel army of Prince Charles Edward Stuart has retreated to the north-east of Scotland. Here they are surrounded by three enemy armies loyal to King George. Lacking money, equipment and food, only a decisive victory on the battlefield can turn the tide of the war. Lord Kilmarnock's Horse Grenadiers have earned a reputation for loyalty, sculduggery and fortitude. Now Prince Charles rewards the regiment by promoting them to become his elite guards. It is a dangerous honour. As the war reaches its climax the Grenadiers must fight their deadliest battle yet. If the regiment does not stand fast, the Jacobite army will be destroyed and the rebellion will be over. You behave as a filching freebooter, Captain Lindesay one caught in the very act of brigancy. 'Brigancy!' Your Highness, the Irish nobleman turned to address the Prince. We cannot have our officers behave in such a fashion and in your royal regiment of guards to boot! Such unworthy behaviour will be the ruin of our reputation. And I must counsel that you dismiss Mr Lindesay from his post. Before the Prince could answer, Patrick stepped closer to the Quartermaster-General, toe-to-toe and eye-to-eye. His face was feral. Patrick curled his lip, bared his teeth, fingered his pistol. The conceited inanity of the fellow was insufferable. For a moment the Irishman was sure the Captain of the Grenadiers was about to offer a challenge and propose a duel. Then, to the astonishment of all the bystanders, Patrick smiled. Just the smallest upturn of the lips, but a veritable and carefree smile none-the-less. And OSullivan frowned, unsure why the Grenadiers anger had turned cold. And Patricks smile broadened, for the canniest of ploys had just come to him
