Summary "Adventures in Holland and at Waterloo; and Expedition to Portugal" by Thomas Knight is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative details Knight’s experiences as a soldier, ranging from his enlistment in the British Army to his participation in significant military events, including the Battle of Waterloo and an expedition to Portugal. The work captures the mixture of camaraderie, mischief, and the harsh realities of military life during this tumultuous period. At the start of the narrative, the author recounts his early days and how he came to join the Army, reflecting on his impulsive departure from a quiet life as an apprentice and his subsequent enlistment. Knight shares humorous anecdotes about his fellow soldiers and the camaraderie they developed, while also providing insights into their training and preparations for deployment. The opening portion sets the tone for a lively and engaging depiction of military life, filled with youthful folly, challenges of discipline, and a foreshadowing of the battles that lay ahead.
