Roger Lamb’s war in America plus two regimental historiesEvery published recollection written by a soldier-irrespective of the time and conflict in which he served-is of inestimable value to posterity and to the historians and students that read them. Some achieve particular recognition . They may be particularly well written, some are especially rare in their subject material or particularly riveting in the tale they tell. Some, despite all of these considerations of quality being present, nevertheless, remain obscure. This account by Roger Lamb of his time serving as a British infantryman in America during the American War of Independence (American Revolution)may well be said to owe its enduring renown to the fact that the author and central character was adopted by the author and poet, Robert Graves ( ’I, Claudius’) for two novels written during the early 1940’s. The actual Roger Lamb’s military career which inspired Graves and is recounted in these pages was certainly full of incident and interest. He served in the Saratoga Campaign of 1777 and The Campaign of 1781 in the Carolinas to Virginia. He was captured and escaped twice. What makes this Leonaur edition of note for readers of military history is that Lamb’s account is accompanied by two regimental history extracts by Richard Cannon which cover the period of Lamb’s service in the 9th Regiment of Foot and The Royal Welsh Fuzileers-as they were named at the time.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
