The specialist troops of Wellington's army played a crucial role in
the success of the British Army. Though often understaffed and ineptly
managed, the artillery, engineers, transport and commissariat, and
medical services contributed to Wellington's ultimate victory in 1815.
The Royal Artillery and Corps of Royal Engineers comprised a small
number of highly trained officers, while the commissariat was composed
of untrained civilians outside military discipline, and the medical
services suffered from a shortage of trained surgeons. This richly
illustrated book examines the organization, uniforms and equipment of
each of these specialist departments.
