The 5/60th Rifles were arguably the most elite unit of Wellington's Peninsular army. Dressed in green, carrying the Baker Rifle, they fought in virtually every battle from 1808 to 1814. But did you know that they were mainly foreigners - Germans, Russians and Hungarians?
In this in-depth interview, Rob Griffith talks with Redcoat History all about the formation, tactics and eventual disbandment of this impressive unit.
