About This Book

Compiled from the correspondence of Colonel Samuel Rice and other sources, the volume traces the everyday experience of a regimental officer in the British Army between 1793 and 1815. Through letters and extracts it records camp and shipboard routine, campaigns and marches, encounters with naval and overseas operations, disciplinary practices including corporal punishment, supply and administrative issues, personal impressions of comrades and commanders, and the small-scale incidents that shaped regimental life. The collection balances battlefield reports with domestic hardships, morale, and the procedures that kept units functioning, offering a ground-level view of military service during a prolonged era of war.
