About This Book

A collected set of first‑hand military memoirs and campaign histories recounts service during the 1809 and 1814 campaigns, including the Walcheren expedition and operations in Portugal and Holland. One narrative traces a soldier's entry into military life, garrison and voyage experiences, siege operations, widespread sickness, evacuation, and the everyday hardships, marches, and anecdotes of campaign living. Complementary pieces provide a systematic account of the 1809 Portuguese campaign with troop movements and logistical challenges, and a separate narrative of the 1814 Holland campaign that follows operational maneuvers and their consequences.

THE LATE WAR.

The United Service Journal
AND
NAVAL AND MILITARY MAGAZINE.

This new and interesting miscellany is regularly published by Messrs. Colburn and Bentley every month, price 3s 6d. The following opinion will at once demonstrate its claims on the attention of the public.

"The United Service Journal is confessedly one of the best periodicals of its kind that have ever issued from the Public Press. No Monthly Journal has yet appeared so devotedly attached to the interests of the Army and Navy, or whose claims to the patronage of both services are so strikingly conspicuous. It is full of agreeable anecdote and useful information. In its pages we find a faithful and most interesting record of past achievements, whether on sea or land, diversified by many characteristic traits of British heroism, and national gallantry, from the lowest to the highest rank in the Service. New improvements in gunnery, navigation, and the art of War, are exposed to view with the commanding powers of a master hand, while no subject is omitted which could by possibility involve the honour and welfare of our Army and Navy. In fine, the Journal affords us a correct summary of all changes in the station of Regiments and Ships of the line, besides an authentic return of the Promotions in the Red and the Blue. Independently of the attractions it has for a military man, this periodical may be read with much pleasure by a civilian, and we feel much gratification in stating that it enjoys a very considerable patronage."—Limerick Chronicle.

The above Periodical is regularly supplied by all Booksellers and Newsvenders, and may also be forwarded to friends and relatives abroad, by giving orders, and making payment accordingly, and those who may be desirous of obtaining it, are requested to give their orders to any Bookseller or Newsman in their own immediate neighbourhood.
