Summary "Boys of the Light Brigade: A Story of Spain and the Peninsular War" by Herbert Strang is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book likely centers around the experiences of the British Rifle Corps, particularly the brave actions of the 95th Rifles during the Peninsular War against Napoleon's forces in Spain. Key characters include Corporal Wilkes and Lt. Jack Lumsden, who navigate the complexities of cooperation between British and Spanish forces amidst the chaos of war. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to Salamanca in 1808, showcasing the frustrations of Corporal Wilkes regarding the Spanish forces' lack of response to the looming French threat. Following an altercation with some locals, an English officer, Lumsden, intervenes with diplomatic persuasion, highlighting the tension between the British soldiers and the Spanish populace. As Lumsden engages in commissariat duties, the storyline hints at forthcoming adventures, particularly as he receives an urgent letter from a Spanish general, Palafox, indicating the impending challenges and the need for decisive action against the French invaders. This opening sets the stage for a blend of camaraderie, conflict, and strategic maneuvers as the narrative unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
