{"product_id":"waiting-in-the-wings-june-durant-9781035876938","title":"Waiting in the Wings","description":"At the age of fifteen, William Hicks joined the 1st Battalion of the 27th Regiment of Foot (the Inniskillings) as a drummer in 1798. Throughout the Napoleonic Wars, they were often in the shadows, waiting for their moment of glory. Their roles varied from holding the fort against the French to acting as a decoy for Wellington in the Peninsula, participating in skirmishes and minor battles. However, these experiences were leading up to one final triumph. Through William's story, we gain insight into the everyday life of a foot soldier during this era: his adventures, challenges, and lessons learned as he travels through diverse lands. Each new destination offers a different climate, culture, and scenery to discover. Join William on his journey to Egypt, Malta, Sicily, Spain, and North America, culminating in their ultimate destination: Waterloo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e June Durant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1035876930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035876938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.20d","brand":"June Durant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611060420863,"sku":"9781035876938","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bd20594-251d-4d03-a772-6d6389b933bc.jpg?v=1764511453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waiting-in-the-wings-june-durant-9781035876938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
