Was He Better Than Wellington? The Tragic Genius of Sir John Moore

Before the SAS, before the Commandos, and before the 95th Rifles became legends... there was Sir John Moore. While the Duke of Wellington called his soldiers "the scum of the earth," Moore believed the British soldier could be a thinking, intelligent warrior. In this episode of British War History, we uncover the life of the forgotten father of the modern British Army. From the training grounds of Shorncliffe Camp—where he invented the Light Infantry doctrine—to the freezing mountains of Spain during the disastrous Retreat to Corunna, discover how one man’s vision forged the weapon that would eventually defeat Napoleon. We analyze the "Shorncliffe System," the birth of the "Green Jackets," and the tragic last stand at Corunna that saved Britain's only army from total annihilation. The "Shorncliffe System": Inventing the Light Infantry. Redcoats vs. Green Jackets: The Baker Rifle revolution. The Peninsular War: The trap of 1808. The Great Retreat: Alcohol, snow, and the massacre at Bembibre. The Battle of Corunna: Moore’s duel with Marshal Soult. The Legacy: How Moore's troops won Waterloo. #britishwarhistory #britishhistory #britishmilitary #britisharmy #historydocumentary #militaryhistory #warhistory #historychannel #ukhistory #britishempire #redcoat
