Not my typical read
mikezane
This book is outside my usual genre but you have to step out of your comfort zone sometimes. :-) This story is like a diary, putting you right on the front of the many battles the soldier, Harris, endured. As I was listening I felt as if I was there watching along with him. It was painful at times, some of the hardships and death endured were so intense. The reader was excellent.
Rings true

Vivid, personal account of the life of a British private soldier. You may wish as I do that an editor hadn't intervened between us and rifleman Harris. Excellent reading.
A Real Honest View Of Wars' Brutal Reality
Keith Horvath
As wars have been fought forever, Harris brings his personal mind & heart to this story. A very real view & his great love of the men he trained with & watch die. The commanders push to reach safety & rescue with many dieing & many more saved.
very interesting

A moving portrayal of a boy soldier who joined the now fabled Rifles, through the Peninsula wars and the Corruna retreat to the little known Holland incursion prior to Waterloo.
Brutally inspiring !
