  • Journal of a Soldier

    Of the Seventy-First Glasgow Regiment, Highland Light Infantry, from 1806 to 1815.

    The Publishers have taken pains to ascertain the accuracy of the statements in the following Journal, and the result has confirmed them in the belief, that the Writer of it has related nothing but what passed under his own observation. His education sufficiently accounts for his expressmg himself better than could have been expected from a private soldier. No alteration has been made upon his language, farther than the correction of a few of the more obvious verbal inaccuracies, Edinburgh, 29th March, 1819.

    Re: Journal of a Soldier

    I might add a few days ago I added another similar book, "Adventures of a Highland Soldier" on Active Service at Home and Abroad by Charles R Martin (Late sergeant 92nd Gordon Highlanders).

    Both books cover different parts of the world and hence very different conditions. This one can be downloaded at
