This book tells the story of local individuals and Nottinghamshire's two main regiments, the 45th and 59th, and their role in one of the best armies fielded as they took on the might of the French army..

November 1815, it has been five months since the Battle of Waterloo, the British army and her allies surround Paris. The Emperor Napoleon has long since abdicated but no formal treaty has been declared.

Shots ring out and a British soldier falls to the floor. He wears the uniform of the 59th (2nd Nottinghamshire) Foot and is one of the last British troops to be killed by direct contact with troops of Napoleonic France.

War with Napoleonic France would see these regiments fight in Portugal, Spain and Holland, right into the heart of France itself and a year later on a tiny patch of Belgian countryside where the future of Europe was to be determined.

Great bag, short shoulder straps
Color: Black
Love the size and the many, many pockets. The quality is great, it's really well made. But the shoulder straps are short. Like for a little kids backpack short. I love the bag so much I'm getting a kit to extend the should straps. But yeah 5 stars for the bag, minus 2 for the short shoulder straps.

Great mini backpack
Color: Black
I love this backpack purse! It has so many pockets; 2 side pockets great for water bottles, umbrella, or my sunglass case. And I love the safety features. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the adjustable straps sometimes slip out. I will need to bring it to the shoe repair shop to have one more fold sewn into the end of the strap to prevent it from continuing to slip out.
