A remarkable three-part study that transformed the research material available to the English-speaking student of the Peninsular War.Most know that Wellington's Portuguese troops were praised as the 'fighting cocks' of his army; fewer appreciate that they represented between half and one-third of his entire forces. Similarly, most uniform historians have been limited to a few half-understood paintings by Dighton, and brief notes from secondary sources. René Chartrand's primary research in Portuguese and British archives now offers a wealth of important material, new at the time of publication.This third volume covers the artillery, militia, Ordenanza, volunteers, troops in the off-shore colonies, navy, and decorations.
