Summary "A Boy in the Peninsular War" by Robert Blakeney is an autobiography written in the late 19th century. The narrative recounts the life and experiences of the young soldier Robert Blakeney, who joined the 28th Regiment at the tender age of fifteen and participated in the military campaigns during the Peninsular War. The book delves into his personal journey through battles and hardships, offering an intimate look at the soldier's life amidst war and camaraderie. The opening of the memoir establishes Blakeney's early enlistment in the army and his immediate encounters with the dangers of military life, beginning with his sea voyage and initial deployment. The narrative vividly portrays his first experiences of battle, his training, and the camaraderie among fellow soldiers, all while addressing the challenges of leadership and the chaos of war. Blakeney's youthful exuberance and eloquent reflections on honor and bravery set the stage for the adventures and tribulations he faced in the years to come.
