Focusing on the experiences of British Army soldiers in North America and the West Indies from 1755 to 1763, this examination highlights the often-overlooked voices of ordinary redcoats. By utilizing new evidence, it presents a unique perspective on the Army's society, delving into themes such as combat experiences, captivity, the roles of women, and the lives of veterans. Unlike other accounts that emphasize major figures and events, this study prioritizes the individual soldier's narrative, offering a more nuanced understanding of their lives and challenges.
