Formerly the 95th, the regiment of green-jacketed riflemen began as an experimental corps and fought through the Peninsular War, Waterloo and the colonial wars of the nineteenth century. Cope tells the story battalion by battalion, using officers’ letters and journals, through campaigns as far afield as South Africa, where the regiment fought at Boomplaats.
