Description

Details the composition, uniforms, and service of the French troops sent to Scotland to support the Jacobite rising of 1745. The Jacobite Rising of 1745 could not have taken place without French support. French ships carried Charles Edward Stuart to Scotland, French gold financed his campaign, and French weapons equipped many of his troops. Yet the actual French military contribution to the campaign was small, and its role is frequently neglected. As with many aspects of the '45, myths and misconceptions aplenty have arisen about the nature and significance of the French contribution which this book seeks to redress. AUTHOR: Andrew Bamford completed a PhD in Military History at the University of Leeds in 2010, and now edits the From Reason to Revolution series for Helion. He has written extensively on the Napoleonic Wars, but also has a long-standing interest in the events of 1745 which he has recreated as a re-enactor over the past ten years. This book is in a large part the product of the research that has gone into his living history portrayals.
