Summary: "Recollections of a Peninsular Veteran" by Joseph Jocelyn Anderson is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. This historical narrative draws on the author's personal experiences as a soldier during the Peninsular Wars, providing insights into battles, military life, and the challenges faced by soldiers in the early 19th century. The memoir features Anderson’s journey from a young ensign in the 78th Regiment through his various military exploits and personal anecdotes. At the start of the memoir, Anderson recounts his early experiences, beginning with his appointment to the 78th Regiment at the age of fifteen. He recalls leaving Scotland, joining his regiment, and embedding for Gibraltar, where he faced challenges common to young officers. Through a series of vivid anecdotes, including a humorous yet humiliating incident involving a schoolmaster, his first impressions of London, and his subsequent military training and deployment, the opening chapters set the stage for a life devoted to military service filled with camaraderie, discipline, and numerous encounters with the realities of war.
