To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I myself stood the third man in my own company, which was reduced from near a hundred men to but three. Indeed| I think we had scarce a company on parade stronger than ten or twelve men, at the first parade. After a few parades, however, our companies gradually were augmented, (by those of the sick who recovered,) but many of those who did not sink in hospital, were never more of much service as soldiers.
After a while, some of the strongest and smartest of our men were picked out to go on the ...recruiting service, and gather men from the militia regiment to fill up our ranks. I myself started off with Lieut. Pratt, Serjeant-Major Adams, and William Bro- tberwood, the latter of whom was afterwards killed at Vittoria by a cannon-ball, which at the same moment ended Patrick Mahon and Lieut. Hopwood. # I was a shoemaker in the corps, and had twenty pounds in my pocket, which I had saved up. With this money I hired a gig, and the serjeant-major and myself cut a very smart figure. The only difificulty was, that neither of us knew how to drive very well, consequently we overturned the gig on the first day, before we got half-way on our journey, and the shafts beiug broken we were obliged to leave it behind us in a small village, midway Hythe and Rye, and take to our legs, as was more soldier-like and seemly.
