The Private Journal of Judge-Advocate Larpent · Attached to the Head-Quarters of Lord Wellington During the Peninsular War

Reprinted over a century and a half since first being published, this facsimile of the Third Edition, which was referred to by Sir Charles Oman as being the best for hard facts. As Judge-Advocate-General, charged with the responsibility of reforming and simplifying the disciplinary machinery in the Duke of Wellington's army, Larpent was in almost daily contact with the Duke himself and has provided an excellent firsthand account of the working of Wellington's headquarters.
