It is 1815, and the news that Napoleon has escaped from Elba causes a rush to reinforce the small Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington in Belgium. Two such units are the 1st Battalion, 95th Rifles and G Troop, Royal Horse Artillery. This is the story of these men as they march rapidly through Belgium, their exploits en route, and the sudden explosive campaign, which culminated in the battle of Waterloo.

This novel is the culmination of years of primary research in the Public Records Office, National Army Museum and Regimental Museums. It uses information gleaned from numerous memoirs, including a large number of unpublished accounts to paint a vivid and realistic picture of events. This book is a real human story; the people existed and every event described actually occurred.

Gareth has very cleverly intertwined these various strands to produce a fast-paced, enthralling and powerful account of life in Wellington's Army. Gareth has studied the history of the Napoleonic Wars for more than twenty years and has written a number of articles that have appeared in the Journal of the Waterloo Committee and on this web site. He also has a book of unpublished letters from the Siborne files due to be published early in 2004.
