About the book
"The 18th Hussars were one of Britain's most dashing regiments of the Napoleonic Wars, and their striking dark blue uniforms with sky blue facings can be seen in many paintings of the time. The regiment fought under Wellington throughout the Peninsular campaign and were present at the final victory at Waterloo. Letters and diaries of members of such a long-serving unit are an especially valuable source for this dramatic period of history. Eric Hunt, who served with the regiment's modern successor, has assembled letters and diaries of three 18th Hussar officers which cover the entire Napoleonic period. Combat and daily life in the Peninsula and Waterloo campaigns are described in vivid detail, along with insights into the social attitudes of the times (18th Hussars officers often only bothered to mention officer casualties in battle reports)"--Publisher.
