Narrative of a Private Soldier in His Majesty's 92d Regiment of Foot

A soldier's memoir recounts enlistment and service with his regiment through an Irish insurrection, an expedition to the Netherlands, and a subsequent Egyptian campaign, providing ground-level descriptions of marches, skirmishes, casualties, and interactions with civilians and prisoners. Interwoven with these military episodes are candid reflections on the author's spiritual struggles, conversion, and the practical effects of his faith on daily conduct. A brief prefatory note emphasizes that the text is printed from the author's manuscript with little alteration. The narrative is arranged chronologically into chapters, combining plain observational detail with moral and devotional commentary intended to instruct and edify.
