Wellington's Army, 1809-1814
Wellington's Army, 1809-1814, published by Charles Oman in 1912, is a companion to his larger history of the Peninsular War, and it describes the force rather than the campaigns. Oman writes about Wellington himself and his methods of command, his generals and his staff, the organization of the divisions, the regimental officers and the ranks they came from, the recruiting and discipline of the men, the infantry tactics of line and column that beat the French, the cavalry and the artillery, the medical services, the commissariat and the problem of feeding an army in Spain, and the daily life of the soldier in camp, on the march and in winter quarters. He draws on the memoirs and letters of participants throughout. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
