At a time when many members of his class were illiterate, Benjamin Harris, a 'Dorsetshire sheep-boy' serving in the 95th Regiment of Foot from 1803 conveys the hard life of an old sweat fighting both the French and the Iberian climate in lively and vivid prose. Harris records the sicknesses and medicines suffered by ordinary soldiers; recounts the savage punishment of a fellow Rifleman, and the cut and thrust of military life from a distinctly worm's eye view, giving invaluable insights into the life of an ordinary soldier in the Napoleonic Wars.
