Boys of the Light Brigade by Herbert Strang is a historical adventure novel set during the Peninsular War (1808–1814), following a young group of British soldiers in the 95th Rifles as they confront the challenges and horrors of war in Spain. Through characters like Corporal Wilkes and Lieutenant Jack Lumsden, the story brings to life the camaraderie, discipline, and courage of these men as they navigate battles, political tensions with their Spanish allies, and severe hardships like limited pay, poor supplies, and harsh terrain. As they take part in key campaigns—such as the retreat to Corunna—the novel emphasizes themes of loyalty, honor, and the maturation of youthful soldiers in the crucible of conflict.
