Author Information

William Brown served in the 45th Regiment of Foot from 1809 until 1816 - including most of the Peninsula War (1809-1814). Later a pauper living in Kilmarnock, Scotland, he is the only known memoirist within the 45th Foot - one of a handful of regiments to have served for the entire duration of the Peninsula War. Steve Brown is the author of Wellington’s Redjackets - the history of the 45th Regiment of Foot 1807-1815 - and has edited and annotated Helion’s re-issue of William Brown’s The Autobiography, or Narrative of a Soldier. He's also a frequent contributor to (and book reviewer for) The Napoleon Series website.
