Experiences of the wife of an officer in green Mrs Fitz Maurice's book, The Rifleman's Wife is often quoted in Cope's History of the Rifle Brigade, the Leonaur editors therefore thought it fitting that it should be reintroduced to the modern reader since in reveals the life of an officer's wife of the Rifles on active service in some detail. The narrative is divided into two distinct sections. The first-and largest-section is an account of the experiences of the author in the post-Napoleonic Wars period commencing in 1827. The book concludes with a gathering together of anecdotes told to the author concerning the regiment's time in the Peninsular War which-she asserts-'have not seen publication elsewhere.' This female perspective will be invaluable to all those seeking a more complete picture of the Rifles' 'regimental family' in the early part of the nineteenth century and will help to complete many 'Rifles libraries' since it has been unavailable for some time except upon the antiquarian market. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket for collectors.
