On the essential bibliography of soldiering in the later eighteenth-century, can we add this book for the medical officers:

Marcus Ackroyd, Laurence Brockliss, Michael Moss, Kate Retford and John Stevenson's, Advancing with the Army: Medicine, the Professions and Social Mobility in the British Isles, 1790-1850 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006).
