Portuguese Army of the Napoleonic Wars
Osprey are confident in boasting that this remarkable three-part study will transform the research material available to the English-speaking student of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). Similarly, most uniform historians have been limited to a few half-understood paintings by Dighton, and brief notes from secondary sources. Most know that Wellington's Portuguese troops were praised as the 'fighting cocks' of his army; fewer appreciate that they represented between half and one-third of his entire forces.
This second volume covers the light infantry, cavalry, specialist corps and several supporting military and civilian departments Rene Chartrand's recent primary research in Portuguese and British archives now offers a wealth of important new material.
