The letters and journals of two Napoleonic Hussars, Major Edwin Griffith and his nephew, Captain Frederick Philips, young Welsh cavalry officers who served for much of the Napoleonic Wars with the 15th (King's) Hussars. Their service ranged from the memorable victory at Sahagun, to the dreadful retreat through the icy winds and snow to Corunna. They returned to Wellington's army in Portugal in 1813 and participated in his great advance through Spain and into France itself, seeing combat at the battles of Vittoria, Roncesvalles and Toulouse, and finally at the final great battle of Waterloo when one of them fails to come safely through.
