Captain Roger Morris, a young British officer in the Coldstream Guards, served in France, Belgium and Holland during the Duke of York's campaign against the armies of Revolutionary France. During the period from May 1793 until March 1795, he kept a diary in which he described the various actions, commanders and incidents, noting failures and poor leadership, and commenting on some of the wider events. Morris also travelled extensively on horseback throughout the region when he was not campaigning, often visiting local churches to view or play the organs!
REVIEWS
If you like a story told by diary entries, this is one of the better ones I have read
Wargames, Soldiers, and Strategy
As importantly, it provides a vivid picture of the life of a junior officer on campaign in this little chronicled campaign of the era. It will keep the interest of both the scholar and the casual reader. Highly recommended.
