RECOLLECTIONS OF MY MILITARY LIFE 1806-1808 Military Engineering During The Peninsular War Volume 1

A two-volume military autobiography penned by a rather colourful officer of the Royal Engineers who was part of the Gibraltar garrison, and saw active service during the Peninsular War. Serving as a Captain, George Landmann was present at the battle of Roleia, reconnoitred the field of Vimeiro, and commanded his corps at the battle. He completed many military engineering constructions, including a flying bridge at Villa Velha, and he also reported on fortifications that led to vigourous efforts being made to defend them.
