Royal Highlander: A Soldier of H. M. 42nd (Royal) Highlanders During the Peninsular, South of France and Waterloo Campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars Scotland's famous kilted soldiers against Napoleon James Anton was a Scottish highlander whose taste for adventure led him to join the militia and then the regular infantry-as a soldier of the 42nd-The Royal Highlanders. The Peninsular War had been raging for years before Anton landed in northern Spain to see action at Nivelle as the war turned from the Iberian Peninsula to the campaign in southern France. After hard campaigning and more battles, the First Restoration seemed to bring an end to Napoleon's wars. Anton left the Continent for garrison duty in Ireland-but Napoleon had not yet done with Europe, and shortly Anton and his kilted comrades were embarked once again and on their way to the battlefields of Quatre Bras and Waterloo, where they would take part in events that would be indelibly engraved in the history of warfare. | Royal Highlander by James Anton, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
