Napoleonic wars: The fascinating story of black soldiers in the British army (Ep.37)

<p>Today I am joined by John Ellis to talk about a subject I knew nothing about - Black soldiers serving in British regiments during the Napoleonic wars. It turns out that there were quite a lot...a number of whom built great careers. In this episode of the Redcoat History Podcast, John explains where these men came from, how they were treated and what happened to them. </p> <p>John doesn't have much of a social media presence but with a little digging his excellent articles can be found.
