British soldiers in the eighteenth century

A redcoat soldier in the British Army during the 18th century would have faced war in a number of theatres throughout the European continent, the Americas and the colonies; the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Seven Years' War between 1756–63, the American War of Independence between 1775–1783, and the French Revolutionary Wars between 1792–1802. At the start of the 19th century, and as part of an army going through extensive gradual reform, he would face the ensuing Napoleonic Wars from 1803–15.
Life for a redcoat soldier was often tough and challenging.〔Linch, p. 100.〕 Plenty of training was needed before a soldier could enter the battlefield; drills and exercises had to be strictly followed as punishments were applied for even the most minor of mistakes.〔Linch, p. 101.〕
==A Soldier in the Army==

The British Army in the 18th century was commonly seen as disciplined, regimented and harsh.〔Holmes, p. 326.〕 Camp life was dirty and cramped with the potential for a rapid spread of disease,〔Linch, p. 112.〕 and punishments could be anything from a flogging to a death sentence. Yet, many men volunteered to join the army, to escape the bleak conditions of life in the cities, for a chance to travel the world and earn a regular wage.
There were a number of names used to describe the variety of groups serving within the army, including the militia, fencibles, associations, volunteers, yeomanry, rangers, local militia and provisional cavalry.〔McCormack, Matthew and Linch, Kevin (July 2011). ''Introduction and Welcome'' Unpublished paper presented at the Britain's Soldiers, 1750–1815 Conference, University of Leeds, UK〕 Although many of the men rarely saw active service abroad, the army was often used as a constabulary force within the British Isles and it was often questioned whether a standing force was actually needed. However, the growth of the British Empire in the 19th century demanded the use of an established imperial force.
