The Portuguese Army of the Napoleonic Wars (2)

The Portuguese constituted a third to a half of the troops under Wellington's command during his campaigns in the Peninsular and were considered first rate troops. This title explores the many battalions in service to the British.

The second instalment in 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. René Chartrand's primary research in Portuguese and British archives now offers a wealth of important new material on the uniforms of these troops.

This second volume covers the light infantry, cavalry, specialist corps and several supporting military and civilian departments
