This comprehensive volume delves into the British cavalry and artillery units that participated in the Napoleonic Wars, as well as supporting units such as engineers. Gabriele Esposito provides a detailed account of the history, organization, and uniforms of these various units, tracing their evolution and combat history. The book also includes specific chapters dedicated to mounted troops deployed in British colonies and foreign cavalry units serving under British command. The technical corps, including artillery (both foot and horse) and engineers, receives equal treatment, highlighting their roles and contributions to the war effort. Additionally, the book includes chapters on Royal Marines naval infantry and other auxiliary corps, such as the Yeomanry\/militia cavalry and the Sea Fencibles, which are lesser-known but significant contributors to the British military.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo enhance the reader's experience, the book is lavishly illustrated with dozens of color paintings that bring the historical context to life. Whether you are a military history enthusiast, a student of the Napoleonic Wars, or simply interested in the evolution of warfare, this book offers valuable insights and a wealth of information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 676g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 252 x 181 x 19 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781399005470                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gabriele Esposito","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44101091492090,"sku":"9781399005470","price":14.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/c240e8684f6c371ce33f93b39fde39c5.jpg?v=1640059041","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/wellingtons-cavalry-and-technical-corps-1800-1815-including-artillery","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
