Steevens’ reminiscences; is one of the rarer British memoirs from the Napoleonic Wars. He spent his whole military career in the ‘Old XX’; the 20th Regiment of foot; ultimately commanding it in the later stages of the Peninsular War. During the period; Steevens served in a number of important campaigns including the Helder campaign of 1799; Egypt; Italy (Maida campaign); Corunna; Walcheren and then back to the Peninsula. There are few officers who can claim such an active military career. This edition is not a facsimilie production but a complete new reprint of the original. I have taken the opportunity of carrying out some editing and adding some maps to aid the reader.
