Summary: "The Private Journal of Judge-Advocate Larpent, Attached to the Head-Quarters of Lord Wellington during the Peninsular War" is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This journal provides firsthand insights into the daily life and experiences of Judge-Advocate Francis Seymour Larpent, who served under the Duke of Wellington during the Peninsular War. It details his journey to the front lines, his observations of military conduct, and the complexities of being involved in the courts martial of the British army during this significant conflict. At the start of the journal, Larpent recounts his departure from England and his voyage aboard the HMS Vautour to Lisbon, capturing the challenges faced during his travels, such as cramped conditions and the excitement of sighting Spain's coast. He shares vivid descriptions of locations, interactions with fellow officers, and the trials of military life, including the scarcity of provisions and the hardships endured in the pursuit of military engagements.
