| Summary | "The Autobiography of Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith, Baronet of Aliwal" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work documents the life and military career of Sir Harry Smith, a notable soldier whose experiences span significant military engagements across Europe, Africa, and India during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It offers insights into his personal journey, tragedies, triumphs, and the historical events he directly participated in, including campaigns in the Peninsular War and the Indian subcontinent. The opening of the autobiography introduces readers to Sir Harry Smith's origins, detailing his early life as one of eleven children in Whittlesea, Cambridgeshire. He recounts his entry into military service during a time of heightened conflict in Europe due to the Napoleonic Wars, describing his experiences as a young officer in various military campaigns, such as the siege of Monte Video in South America and the engagement at Buenos Ayres. These early chapters vividly illustrate the challenges he faced and the formative experiences that shaped his character and military career, laying the groundwork for a broader narrative about his life and service.
