Wellington's Forgotten Riflemen - The 5th Battalion 60th Regiment

I speak to Rob Griffith about the men of the 5th/60th - a unit of riflemen who are much less well known that their comrades in the 95th Rifles, but who nonetheless have a rich and vibrant history, and we a unit full of remarkable characters. We discuss insanity, desertion, rank and file becoming Portuguese gentry, and the trials and tribulations of serving in a unit which was not your homeland's.Twitter: @zwhitehistory | @Rob_Griffith_Patreon: patreon.com/thenapoleonicist Or support the podcast at no extra cost to yourself when you buy any book at a HUGE discount at Naval & Military press.
