Product Description
A light cavalry regiment at war against Napoleonic France
This the second volume of C. R. B Barrett's in depth history of the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars. Whilst the first volume dealt with the regiment's service as dragoons during the continental wars of the eighteenth century in this volume the regiment has developed into a light cavalry unit-first as light dragoons and then as fully styled hussars. The regiment took part in the campaign in the Netherlands and the Helder before it's posting to Spain and the ultimately disastrous Corunna campaign. Further service in the Peninsula followed to the close of the war with France. Napoleon's escape from Elba brought the regiment to battle once more during the formidable campaign of 1815 where it saw intense action at Genappe and Waterloo. This book is filled with vital detail and is enhanced by several first hand accounts by soldiers of the 7th. Volume three of this history deals with the regiment through Queen Victoria's colonial wars of the nineteenth century and the fourth and final volume concerns uniform, equipment and the services of notable regimental members.
