He wrote many works and articles including a biography of Wellington, a book based on his own experiences during the war of 1812 in America and editing the memoirs of a Chelsea pensioner. Originally published as a series of articles in Blackwoods Magazine, in the 1820s Reverend Gleig's most famous novel, The Subaltern, was published as a book in its own right soon after going through numerous editions. It presents a slightly coloured and retouched memoir of Gleig's own experiences in the Duke's army in the Peninsular and the invasion of the South of France.Somewhat lighter in tone than some of the more gruesome memoirs written of the war, it is a fascinating read.Author- George Robert Gleig 1796-1888 (1844-1912)Peninsular War, 1807-1814Generated by AIPersonal narrativesGenerated by AIPeninsular War, 1807-1814.Personal narratives.940.27Gleig George Robert808583Publishing Pickle Partners1077764MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910164076403321The Subaltern3400548UNINA
