"The Life of a Regimental Officer During the Great War, 1793-1815" by Lieut.-Col. A. F. Mockler-Ferryman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work compiles the correspondence and experiences of Colonel Samuel Rice, a regimental officer serving in the British Army during a tumultuous period marked by the Napoleonic Wars. The author aims to provide insights not only into Rice's personal journey but also into the lives of ordinary regimental officers who contributed significantly to the British military efforts of the time but were often overshadowed by their more famous counterparts. At the start of the account, the reader is introduced to Samuel Rice, who is sent to St Omer to study just before the onset of the French Revolution. Mockler-Ferryman lays out the historical context, highlighting the political turmoil in France and its implications for Britain. The author shares Rice's observations of the changing landscape around him, reflecting on the tension and uncertainty that characterized the period. Subsequently, Rice is commissioned as an ensign in the 51st Regiment and begins his service amidst the challenges of military life, dealing with hardships on transport ships, the nature of regimental duty, and the implications of the purchase system of commissions. This beginning effectively sets the stage for an exploration of Rice's military career against the backdrop of the Great War, showcasing how even lesser-known figures played crucial roles in shaping British military history.
