Synopsis: This ebook is purpose built and is proof-read and re-type set from the original to provide an outstanding experience of reflowing text for an ebook reader. The North Gloucestershire, or 28th Regiment of Foot, had a long and honourable list of successes during the Napoleonic Wars: they were engaged at Coruña, Talavera, Albuera, Vittoria, the Pyrenees, the Nive and the Nivelle, and were conspicuous during the Waterloo Campaign at both Quatre Bras and the era-defining battle. Captain Cadell (as he was at that time) served throughout the period, and his memoirs are filled with the hard engagements with the enemy. He commanded the company of grenadiers of the 1st battalion and was at the cutting edge of all the fighting. His writing style is lucid, filled with memorable anecdotes of the action, and often asides about the men under his command. An excellent memoir of a hard-fighting regimental officer.
