Random Shots

Random Shots from a Non-Rifleman

A number of disconnected pieces of research, mainly concerned with the 95th Rifles and the Peninsular War. Some of them started as research for my fan fiction. As the site grows they may find a home at the end of another trail.

The title is lifted from Johnny Kincaid's second book.
