British Light Infantry in the American Revolution
Featuring full-color artwork, this is the engaging story of Britain's elite light infantrymen in battle during the American Revolutionary War.During the Seven Years' War (1755-63), a number of independent light-infantry outfits served under British command and dedicated light companies were added to the British Army's regular infantry battalions. After evacuating Boston in March 1776, Howe began to remodel and drill his army The light companies were disbanded after the war but the prominent role played by light infantry was not forgotten, and in 1771-72 light-infantry companies were reinstated in every regiment in the British Isles.Although William Howe formed a training camp at Salisbury in 1774 specifically to practice light-infantry doctrine, the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775 found the British Army wanting, and the light companies were no different.
