Peninsular War Rations
Just a bit of curiosity... I've been asked to make a couple of jackets
for members of a re-enactment society depicting the 71st Glasgow Highland Light Infantry, Circa 1808, and knowing that Old Hooky was well aware that an army marches on its stomach, I was wondering what their daily rations were supposed to be, and how often they got them... and how much foraging they needed to do just to survive! I know there are a few officer's diaries extant (Harry Smith and Kincaid spring to mind, and there are others), but what of the other ranks? -- Kate XXXXXX (dreaming of bread and circuses... and a curious lack of white bridal satin!)
