Reading this book because the Captain used to live in the house just around our corner,one of the sites I work on, and opposite the Trinity Church built to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo, two globaly reknowned historic events within a stones throw of where I live - how cool is that!

Up to Page 75 - Historicaly interesting and nice to learn about a local hero, but quite a slow read - I have to be in the factual history frame of mind to read it, and it can be tedious to get through, never knew there were styles of saddle to suit military needs and that Officers had to buy their uniforms and rank, also that cavalry swords were quite in-efficient due to metal scabards dulling the edge of the swords
