Leaves From The Diary Of An Officer Of The Guards
Originally written under the nom de plume of “A Veteran Comrade”, the leaves of Sir John Cowell-Stepney’s diary make for a fascinating read as he recounts his experiences during the Peninsular Campaign and his other anecdotes of his military career. Commissioned in the Grenadier Guards in May 1809 as an Ensign, and rose to the rank of Lt-Colonel in 1830. In his later life he was active in politics as a Liberal Member of parliament and the High Sheriff of Carmarthenshire. Focusing on the campaigns of 1810 and 1811 in particular, the author describes his experiences vividly from his initial landing in Portugal, throughout his varied trials of the British army officer in the Peninsular. Major battles that his was involved in such as Fuentes D’Oñoro, Albuera and perhaps the best account of the siege and assault of Cuidad Rodrigo, are covered in his inimitable style. Reminiscent in tone to Kincaid’s “Adventures in the Rifle Brigade”, with a jaunty self-deprecating humour, and eye for detail. A classic of the Genre. Author- Sir John Cowell-Stepney (1791-1877)
The Peninsular War with the Coldstream Guards
At war with a 'Gentleman's Son' This is another Leonaur published source work which will provide one more vital piece in the historical record of the war in Portugal and Spain against Napoleon's French Army. Cowell-Stepney was a Coldstreamer-an officer of one of Wellington's elite regiments. We join him in 1810 as he journeys to the Peninsula and follow his experiences through 1811 and the entry into Spain. This volume includes a well documented account of Albuera and much essential material of life on campaign. It concludes with the storming of Badajos. This rare account is available in soft cover and hard back with dust jacket. Leonaur hard backs are cloth bound and feature head and tail bands and gold foil embossed spines-a credit to your bookshelf. This volume is one of over a hundred books concerning the history of the Napoleonic Wars published by Leonaur.
