Excerpt from Sketches of Irish Soldiers in Every Land In presenting to the public the following sketches, I am fully aware that I have left out many names of distinguished Irishmen, and omitted or merely glanced at several incidents, historical and biographical, which, if fully related, would redound to the national credit of my chivalrous countrymen in every part of the world. These omissions have not been intentional, but necessary. Within the limits assigned to this book, it was impossible to find place for even the mention of the names of the myriad of heroic Irish soldiers who, during the seventeenth century, battled for religious freedom and independence at home, or who, in the eighteenth, filled the continent of Europe, the Indies, east and west, and our own colonies, with the fame of their bravery and daring.

This series concentrates on women and the soldiers in the ranks whose lives they shared, assembling a wide body of evidence of their romantic entanglements and domestic concerns. The new military history of recent decades has demanded a broadening of the source base beyond elite accounts or those that concentrate solely on battlefield experiences. Armies did not operate in isolation, and men’s family ties influenced the course of events in a variety of ways. Campfollowing women and children occupied a liminal space in campaign life. Those who travelled "on the strength" of the army received rations in return for providing services such as laundry and nursing, but they could also be grouped with prostitutes and condemned as a ‘burden’ by officers. Parents, wives, and offspring left behind at home remained in soldiers’ thoughts, despite an army culture aimed at replacing kin with regimental ties. Soldiers’ families’ suffering, both on the march and back in Britain, attracted public attention at key points in this period as well. This series provides, for the first time in one place, a wide body of texts relating to common soldiers’ personal lives: the women with whom they became involved, their children, and the families who cared for them. It brings hitherto unpublished material into print for the first time, and resurrects accounts that have not been in wide circulation since the nineteenth century. The collection combines the observations of officers, government officials and others with memoirs and letters from men in the ranks, and from the women themselves. It draws extensively on press accounts, especially in the nineteenth century. It also demonstrates the value of using literary depictions alongside the letters, diaries, memoirs and war office papers that form the traditional source base of military historians. This second volume covers the period during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic War era
