Redcoat Officer 17401815 Gerry Embleton Stuart Reid by Gerry Embleton, Stuart Reid instant download after payment.

The commissioned officer ranks in the British Army from 1740-1815 were
almost entirely composed of the affluent and educated - the sons of the
landed gentry, the wealthy, and other professional people. This title
looks at the enlistment, training, daily life and combat experiences of
the typical British officer in the crucial periods of the North American
conflicts, the American Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars. It
compliments the author's previous treatments in Warrior 19 British
Redcoat 1740-93 and Warrior 20 British Redcoat (2) 1793-1815, which deal
exclusively with the common infantryman, and balances these discussions
through a look at the 'fellows in silk stockings'. Particular emphasis
is placed on the experiences and activities in North America in the late
18th century.
