COLE'S Memoirs of British Generals Distinguished during the Peninsular War, vol. i. p. 238. PREFACE. THERE are two passages in English military literature which make one marvel that nothing approaching to a real memoir of General Robert Craufurd has ever been written ; the one is in the Duke of Wellington's Despatches, and the other in the "Early Military Life of Sir George Napier." Writing to Craufurd on April 9, 1810, Welling- " ton says to him, Since you have joined the army, I have always wished that you should command our outposts, for many reasons into which it is unnecessary to enter." Sir George Napier says of his old leader, Robert Craufurd, "Although he was a most unpopular man, every officer of the Light Division must acknowledge that, by his unwearied and active exertions of mind and body, that Division was brought to a state of discipline and know- ledge of the duties of light troops, which never was equalled by any Division in the British army, or sur- passed by any Division of the French army." In some ways it may seem unsuitable that a civilian should write concerning so great a military leader and so glorious a Division. But, unfortunately, no soldier has Vlll PREFACE. directed his attention to the work here undertaken ; and being General Craufurd's grandson and present repre- sentative, I have at all events a strong hereditary interest in the subject, and I have also the advantage of an intimate acquaintance with letters and papers relating to the General's private as well as his public life. It is very likely that this volume may contain some technical errors or inaccuracies but these be if the ; can easily corrected, book should attain to a second edition. Of course, whilst writing this work, I have very frequently consulted military friends when I was in doubt as to the technical expressions used in war. And the fact that in my former writings I have been accustomed to deal with far deeper problems, demanding the most precise and accurate thinking, may possibly be of some use to me in this work that I have now endeavoured to perform. This volume, however, is intended to be essentially light reading. One of my main objects has been to gather together into a compact and portable form the many interesting and amusing anecdotes about the Light Division, which are at present scattered through a con- siderable number of scarce and inaccessible books. Thus to preserve and render easily accessible to the public all these famous stories, has appeared to me nothing less than a duty owing to the most glorious of all British Divisions, and to its renowned leader. The letters and the long paper by Sir John Moore have never hitherto been published, so far as I know. I PREFACE. IX have a very large collection of Wellington's autograph letters to Craufurd. Unfortunately, these have been published in Gurwood's edition of the Duke's Despatches. But many of them are so interesting that I have freely used them to illustrate my subject, quoting from the original letters in my own possession. The letter from Wellington, which is marked private, is now made public for the first time, to the best of my knowledge. Of course the reasons for keeping it private have long since passed away. Though I am quite aware of the necessary imperfection of my knowledge of military technicalities, it will be observed that I speak with perfect assurance and con- fidence when my subject leads me to deal with the ways, thoughts, and feelings of private soldiers. For many years I have been in the habit of giving voluntary assist- ance to army chaplains, or acting chaplains, in their work, during a great portion of each year. For five successive winters periods of about six months each I believe that I passed almost more time with the men in hospital in ShornclifFe camp than any other minister of any denomi- nation. During the greater part of four summers I have helped the chaplain to look after the men belonging to three different cavalry regiments at Piershill barracks, near Edinburgh. Besides my five winters passed in helping at Shorncliffe, I have also spent three winters in helping the acting chaplain at Parkhurst barracks, in the Isle of Wight. During the first part of this time. the 43rd X PREFACE. Light Infantry were at Parkhurst, and during the later part another regiment representative of the old Light Division was there, viz. the 4th Battalion of the Rifle Brigade. Ever since the 43rd Light Infantry came home from India, I have been accustomed to help to look after the men of that regiment with peculiar regard and affection. I am an honorary member for life of its officers' Mess, and I am accustomed to talk to its men in the most outspoken and familiar manner. This book is written from the point of view of one who sympathizes fully as much with what are called "common soldiers," as he does with British officers. I always feel keen interest in the men. Their frankness, and, in many cases, the warmth of their feelings always draw me towards them. And when I am with them I feel that I am in contact with the realities of life, and not with its conventionalities, with human nature as it truly exists, and not with unmeaning artificialities. " " I have also found that my decidedly broad views on religion have caused me to come into far closer contact with the hearts and minds of the men than most ministers ever come. A well-known dignitary of the Church of " England once said to me : Your work amongst soldiers always interests me, as bringing into contact natures in many respects singularly different, yet singularly near in some ways." What the Dean meant was this, that the men have no cut-and-dry religious formulas, because they seldom think on such subjects, and that I have no such \ PREFACE. XI formulas, because deep and prolonged thought has de- prived me of them. And so, from widely different causes, " " the men and I are alike, naked and not ashamed in a spiritual sense. I firmly believe that the sympathetic and compassionate Christianity of Christ is admirably suited to meet the real the wants of soldiers and of thinkers ; but narrower forms of religion are, as a matter of fact, about equally repulsive to both these totally different classes of human beings.* My best thanks are due to my friend General W. Napier, for his kind permission to make free use of his " most interesting and admirable work, The Early Military Life of Sir George Napier." Nowhere else in the English language do we find so vividly and well expressed the feelings cherished towards their men by really great British officers nowhere else can find such ; we genuine appreciation of the many fine qualities so often displayed by the English private soldier, and such a deep sense of the claims which he has on the consideration, kindness and often on the affection of those placed over him. The mind and heart of Sir George Napier were penetrated with the of Sir Moore and if our kindly sagacity John ; present officers would learn of that noblest of all our leaders, (Moore), we should hear no more of mutinous conduct in our regiments. * Experience has taught me that a strong sense of humour and a real love of jokes are an immense aid to all who seek to get at and influence the hearts of soldiers.

  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. University of Birmingham School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law October, 2014.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

  • Wellington's Army 1809-1814
    Wellington's Army 1809-1814 by C.W.C. OMAN M.A. OXON, HON, LL.D EDIN PROFESOR OF MODERN HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD with illustrations second impression London Edward Arnold 1913 Digitized for Microsoft Corporation by the Internet Archive in 2007, from a University of Toronto copy. PREFACE MUCH has been written concerning Wellington and his famous Peninsular Army in the way of formal history : this volume, however, will I think contain somewhat that is new to most stu- dents concerning its organization, its day by day life, and its psychology. To understand the ex- ploits of Wellington's men, it does not suffice to read a mere chronicle of their marches and battles. I have endeavoured to collect in these pages notices of those aspects of their life with which no strategical or tactical work can deal, though tactics and even strategy will not be found unnoticed. My special thanks are due to my friend Mr. C. T. Atkinson, Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, for allowing me to use the admirable list of the bri- gade and divisional organization of the Peninsu- lar Army which forms Appendix II. It is largely expanded from the article on the same topic which he printed eight years ago in the Historical Review, and enables the reader to find out the precise composition of every one of Wellington's units at any moment between April, 1808 and April, 1814. I have also to express my gratitude to the Hon. John Fortescue, the author of the great History of the British Army, for answering a good many queries which I should have found hard to solve without his aid.

  • British Losses in the Corunna Campaign
    The Napoleon Series British Losses in the Corunna Campaign BRITISH LOSSES IN THE CORUNNA CAMPAIGN By Steve Brown Just how many men did Sir John Moore’s force lose in Spain? The question has long vexed historians. Appendix XIII of Oman Volume 1 provides figures based upon a comparison of returns between October 1808, 19 December 1808 and January 1809, at which time men missing from their regiments may not have re-joined. I have recently discovered a return in WO 1/904 which computed the total men lost in Portugal and Spain as of 6 May 1809, in other words, nearly four months after Corunna. This shows many regiments losing more men than reported by Oman. There are two possible problems with Oman’s numbers. Firstly, he based them upon ‘Effective Strength’ - i.e. men fit to take the field – rather than Total Strength, i.e. the sum of fit men plus sick men or On Command. A second problem is that his disembarkation strengths in England in January 1809 may not include various men who were detached or lost, and sailed with other regiments to other ports in the confusion. It is reasonable to assume that by May 1809 these men were well and truly accounted for with their parent battalions. The ‘Total Other Ranks left in Portugal’ number in the WO return – 1353 other ranks – accords reasonably well with the men used to form the two battalions of Detachments (see http://www.napoleon-series.org/military/organization/c_detach.html) which show a slightly higher number (by only 50 or so), but with the knowledge that these units contained some men who were described as ‘escaped from the French’ or ‘from the frontiers,’ (in other words formerly listed amongst those ‘missing in Spain’ in the War Office return), which would account for the difference.
