The following is Volume 2 unedited of the journal of Charles Crowe covering his time in the Peninsular War click here for Vol 1.
Volume 2 had been missing for the last 20 years but recently turned up in the collection of the Inniskillings Museum. It has now been reunited with Volume 1 and I would like to express my grateful thanks to the Inniskillings Museum who have been exceedingly helpful in this matter.
Copies can also be ordered from most book sellers. This published version has comprehensive notes all the way through explaining the people the places and the background to the events.

For there is a Power, above, and that all nature cries aloud through all her works!!! Then how thankful ought the Christian to be, for having been trained in that religion, which offers him an unerring path to the protection of "That Divine Power"!!! A serjeant of the 66th Regt joined us; and seemed as well pleased with company as we were.
