Adventures of a young rifleman in the French and English armies,
during the war in Spain and Portugal, from 1806 to 1816. Written by himself
Johann Christian Maempel
In Wellington’s ranks, many of these skirmishers were armed with the highly accurate but relative slow-loading Baker rifle; feared by their French opponents, the riflemen were not all British but also recruited from the ranks of the German principalities that Napoleon had pressed into his armies. One such soldier was Joseph Maempel: forced away from his native Germany to fight for the French, he was captured early in his career and decided to join the allied cause. After many escapes, scrapes, adventures and much hard fighting, the author returned to his native lands to write his book. The world famous German author and poet Goëthe volunteered to edit these memoirs, which contain an excellent account of the service of the young Rifleman across the battle-fields of Europe.
