Memoirs of the Late War, Vol 1 (of 2) / Comprising the Personal Narrative of Captain Cooke, of the 43rd Regiment Light Infantry; the History of the Campaign of 1809 in Portugal, by the Earl of Munster; and a Narrative of the Campaign of 1814 in Holland, by Lieut. T. W. D. Moodie, H. P. 21st Fusileers

A collected set of first‑hand military memoirs and campaign histories recounts service during the 1809 and 1814 campaigns, including the Walcheren expedition and operations in Portugal and Holland. One narrative traces a soldier's entry into military life, garrison and voyage experiences, siege operations, widespread sickness, evacuation, and the everyday hardships, marches, and anecdotes of campaign living. Complementary pieces provide a systematic account of the 1809 Portuguese campaign with troop movements and logistical challenges, and a separate narrative of the 1814 Holland campaign that follows operational maneuvers and their consequences.
