The memoirs of Capt. J. Kincaid covering his experiences in the famous Rifle Brigade. The Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort's Own) was an infantry rifle regiment of the British Army, formed in 1800 to provide sharpshooters, scouts and skirmishers. They later became part of the Royal Green Jackets. The brigade was distinguished by its use of green uniforms as standard in place of the traditional red, the first regular infantry corps in the British Army to do so.
