Osprey are confident in boasting that this remarkable three-part study will transform the research material available to the English-speaking student of the Peninsular War. Most know that Wellington's Portuguese troops were praised as the 'fighting cocks' of his army; fewer appreciate that they represented between half and one-third of his entire forces. Similarly, most uniform historians have been limited to a few half-understood paintings by Dighton, and brief notes from secondary sources.

René Chartrand's recent primary research in Portuguese and British archives now offers a wealth of important new material. This second volume covers the light infantry, cavalry, specialist corps and several supporting military and civilian departments

Contents: Legion of Light Troops · Loyal Lusitanian Legion · The Cazadores · Royal Volunteers of the Prince · The Cavalry · Specialists: Engineers, Arsenal, Artificers, Telegraph Corps, Military Academies, Guides, Garrison Staff; Police, Castle & Body Guards; Veterans · Civil Departments: Treasury, Commissariat & Medical · Colours & Standards · Legion Portugaise in French Service · Commentary on the colour artwork.
