A shocking sacrifice for the cause for any one family to make, although it transpired not all of the sons were in fact dead. Some years earlier the last surviving member of his generation of the Fernyhough family, from Staffordshire in England, wrote the stories of his brothers and himself. Robert Fernyhough's brothers, John and Henry in the Royal Marines and Thomas in the infantry, had fallen in the service of their country during the Napoleonic Wars. Robert himself saw much action as a Royal Marine before eventually fighting in the 95th Rifles in the Peninsular under Wellington, including heavy engagement at the battle of Busaco.The fighting record of the Fernyhough family that is recorded in this work is truly astonishing; Expeditions to Walcheren, Buenos Ayres, Walcheren, the coast of Spain, Savoy, Toulon, Malta, Gibraltar not to mention hard soldiering in the Peninsular make for an excellent Read.Author - Robert Fernyhough (1785-1866) 517 $aMilitary Memoirs Of Four Brothers 606 $aPersonal narratives$7Generated by AI 606 $aMilitary history$7Generated by AI 615 0$aPersonal narratives. 615 0$aMilitary history. 676 $a940.274092 700 $aFernyhough$b Robert$01372095 701 $aPublishing$b Pickle Partners$01077764 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164075403321 996 $aMilitary Memoirs Of Four Brothers (Natives of Staffordshire)$93402038 997 $aUNINA
