Excerpt from Rough Sketches of the Life of an Old Soldier: During a Service in the West Indies; At the Siege of Copenhagen in 1807; In the Peninsula and the South of France in the Campaigns From 1808 to 1814, With the Light Division; In the Netherlands in 1815; Including the Battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo
