Product Description
Product Description
The Journal of Corporal Todd is a remarkably rare 'Other Ranks' record from a period when most common soldiers were illiterate. Todd's service commenced in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 and he retired as a Chelsea Pensioner in 1763. His flowing narrative gives not only a record of what his regiments were doing, but his own views on his fellow soldiers, his officers and the countries - Ireland, England, France and Germany - in which he served. His intelligence and powers of observation make him an extraordinary chronicler of his time.
