"Sergeant William Lawrence died at Studland in Dorsetshire in the year 1867, bequeathing the manuscript of the accompanying autobiography to the family one of whose members now submits it...."
Sergeant Lawrence's memoir is one of the most important sources of information on life in the ranks during the Napoleonic Wars. Lawrence enlisted in the 40th Regt., served in the River Plate expedition, Peninsular 1809-14 (inc. Talavera, Busaco, Badajoz, Vitoria &c.) & Waterloo campaigns.
"I was so weak myself that I could scarcely walk, so I crawled on my hands and knees till I got out of the reach of the enemy's musketry."
