Richard Tennant concludes a well-written article in First Empire #93 on the subject of rockets in the Napoleonic Wars with an interesting quote from Richard Glover's Peninsular Preparations, which reads in part: ...its portability might have made it an ideal supporting arm for the infantry battalion commander to have under his control. Had a dozen men in each infantry battalion been trained to use rockets, and equipped with no more rounds than one pack-horse could carry, they might have made a very different Waterloo. If employed with the infantry, what impact do you think Congreve's rockets would have made at Waterloo? |
