Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Peninsular Veteran: Sergeant in the Forty-Third Light Infantry, During the Peninsular War Ours was a happy family. My father, though a plain man, was excelled by few in attachment to his wife and children. Hope springs eternal in the human breast and we flattered ourselves that futurity offered to our notice lengthened years of comfort. But we soon found that our hold on earthly happiness was fragile as the Spider's thread. My father was taken ill and died. Even now the procession of his funeral is pictured on my memory. The gentleman already named as my father's employer had fallen upon evil days. His property passed into other hands; and as the purchaser knew nothing of our family, no one' cared for the widow and her orphan charge. A house with every needful convenience had been built for us by the original proprietor. This we were abruptly ordered to quit. Another king had arisen, who knew not Joseph or his father's house. We went away, weeping at every step. I saw my mother's tears, and to this day her low wailing strikes my ear. But though des titute, we were not forsaken; though in straits, we did not perish; and by the blessing of Almighty Providence upon the 'well-directed industry of my mother and my elder brothers, we were sustained with food convenient.

His view of the actions on the Coa, Masséna's invasion of Portugal, the battle of Fuentes d'Oñoro, the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo follow before his wounds at the storming of Badajoz force his retirement. The author gives an excellent account of the day-to-day life as an N.C.O. in the light infantry, tactics and experience recounted in detail, along with the impact on the Portuguese and Spanish civilians that he encounters.
