FROM CORUNNA TO WATERLOO
by Editor Gareth Glover

The letters and journals of two Napoleonic Hussars, Major Edwin Griffith and his nephew, Captain Frederick Philips, young Welsh cavalry officers who served for much of the Napoleonic Wars with the 15th (King's) Hussars. Their service ranged from the memorable victory at Sahagun, to the dreadful retreat through the icy winds and snow to Corunna. They returned to Wellington's army in Portugal in 1813 and participated in his great advance through Spain and into France itself, seeing combat at the battles of Vittoria, Roncesvalles and Toulouse, and finally at the final great battle of Waterloo when one of them fails to come safely through.

THE WATERLOO ARCHIVE: VOLUME II: GERMAN SOURCES
by Editor Gareth Glover

German troops formed the majority of Wellington's forces present at the Battle of Waterloo including those of Nassau, Brunswick, Hanover and the King's German Legion, and they left a large number of first-hand accounts of their role in the battle. There was a great need to provide an English version of much of the original German source material and this volume remedies that situation by publishing sixty of these reports and letters translated into English for the first time. They give a clearer insight into the significant role these troops played
