Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, in the Peninsula, France, and the Netherlands From 1809 to 1815 (Esprios Classics)

I joined the second battalion rifle brigade, (then the ninety-fifth, ) at Hythe-Barracks, in the spring of 1809, and, in a month after, we proceeded to form a part of the expedition to Holland, under the Earl of Chatham. With the usual Quixotic feelings of a youngster, I remember how very desirous I was, on the march to Deal, to impress the minds of the natives with a suitable notion of the magnitude of my importance, by carrying a donkey-load of pistols in my belt, and screwing my naturally placid countenance up to a pitch of ferocity beyond what it was calculated to bear.""
