An outstanding series of 37 vivid, candid letters by Major-General Sir George Ridout Bingham (1777-1833), transcribed by him from his original correspondence home and spanning April 1809 to January 1814, including the campaign of Talavera. They constitute a major primary source for campaigning in the Peninsula. In a reflective foreword, written at Dean's Leaze in 1820-21, Bingham explains that he found his mother's preserved cache of letters on his return to England and copied them out verbatim, omitting only personal matters. He stresses that he made no revisions, leaving his early impressions, misjudged predictions, and evolving opinions intact, and notes the gradual growth of his confidence in Wellington. An index closes the volume. A letter of 29 July 1809 from the field near Talavera captures the collection's immediacy: Bingham reports the ferocity of the action, the heavy British casualties borne without Spanish support, the army's acute want of provisions, the deaths and wounds among senior officers, his own collapse from exhaustion, and the Spaniards' killing of wounded Frenchmen. Such unvarnished observations typify the set. The foreword and letters are printed in Gareth Glover's Wellington's Lieutenant, Napoleon's Gaoler (2005). Glover notes that all surviving transcripts - including those at the National Army Museum, typescript copies presented to the United Services Institute in 1923 - derive from lost originals. He characterizes the letters as frank, immediate, and rich in operational detail, free from retrospective shaping and attentive to landscape, people, officers, daily routines, and the brutal conduct of war. Bingham, from a long-established Dorset family, rose rapidly: ensign in the 69th (1793), major in the 82nd (1801), and in 1805 lieutenant-colonel of the newly raised 2/53rd. He led the battalion throughout its distinguished Peninsula service (Porto to Burgos), later commanding a provisional battalion through Vitoria, the Pyrenees, and the Nivelle. Decorated with the Portuguese Order of the Tower and Sword and made KCB, he escorted Napoleon to St Helena and commanded there until 1819, later serving on the Irish staff during a turbulent period. He was widely regarded as a considerate and able officer. Provenance: pencilled ownership of Col. John Delalynde Mansel (1850-1915), Rifle Brigade, whose grandfather, Lieut.-Col. John Mansel, served as Bingham's second-in-command in the Peninsula. Subsequent family marriages united the Mansel, Bingham, and Pleydell lines.
