The West India Regiments were formed in 1795 to assist England in its war
against France in the Caribbean. A total of ten thousand men - mostly slaves
- whose story is told for the first time.
From their exploits in the Caribbean
and Africa, up to their disbandment in 1927, this book is a compassionate
account of a little-known area of the British military. |
