(Subject: Regimental & Unit Histories - General) Formed on 13 November 1813 from the ‘Better Class of Culprit and Deserter’ and confined aboard Isle of Wight military prison ships, this expendable corps of ‘Serial Deserters’ was dispatched to survive or die in the pestilential islands of Barbados, St Vincent, Jamaica, Grenada, Tobago and Guadeloupe, where 26 per cent successfully deserted and 30 per cent perished. In this unique study the author examines in detail every aspect of the regiment: its composition, its involvement in the capture of the island of Guadeloupe, the desertions and punishments, and its eventual disbandment in Canada.
