"Recollections of Rifleman Harris, (Old 95th.)" by Benjamin Harris is a memoir published in 1848 that chronicles the experiences of a private soldier in the 95th Regiment during the Napoleonic Wars. Dictated by the illiterate Harris to Captain Henry Curling, it offers a rare enlisted man's perspective on campaigns from Copenhagen to the Peninsula. Through vivid accounts of battles, brutal punishments, devastating illness, and daily military life, Harris preserves the voices of ordinary soldiers otherwise lost to history.
