George Simmons of Beverley served with the 95th Rifles in the Light Division from 1809, and his journals and letters home follow the Peninsular War campaign by campaign under General Craufurd and Wellington, and on to Waterloo. He writes of marches, reconnaissance and battle, lost comrades and his worries for the brothers who followed him into the army.
