'I never saw any regiment in such order,' remarked Wellington shortly before the battle of Waterloo, 'it was the most complete and handsome military body I ever looked at.' The object of the duke's admiration was the 23rd Regiment of Foot, the Royal Welch Fusiliers. 'Dragon Rampant' is the story of this famous fighting unit during the tumultuous and bloody period of the wars with France. Based on rare and untouched personal memoirs and correspondence as well as new research, this compelling new history offers new insights into the evolution of the British army. Largely scorned by even its own countrymen in 1793, by 1815 it had become a professional force service capable of triumphing over the greatest general and army of the time.
