The commissioned officer ranks in the British Army from 1740-1815 werealmost entirely composed of the affluent and educated - the sons of thelanded gentry, the wealthy, and other professional people. This titlelooks at the enlistment, training, daily life and combat experiences ofthe typical British officer in the crucial periods of the North Americanconflicts, the American Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars. Itcompliments the author's previous treatments in Warrior 19 BritishRedcoat 1740-93 and Warrior 20 British Redcoat (2) 1793-1815, which dealexclusively with the common infantryman, and balances these discussionsthrough a look at the 'fellows in silk stockings'. Particular emphasisis placed on the experiences and activities in North America in the late18th century.
