15. 43rd Regiment of Foot (Monmouthshire Light Infantry)
The 43rd Regiment of Foot, known as the Monmouthshire Light Infantry, was integral to the British Light Division during the Peninsular War (nam.ac.uk). They were renowned for their swift tactics and effectiveness in skirmishing and reconnaissance, often operating ahead of main forces. Similar to the 52nd and 95th Rifles, the 43rd’s adaptability and mobility were crucial in engagements across Spain and Portugal.
