Did anybody so far read the "Leonaur" edition and does it contain more than in the above mentioned work? There his recollections are a joy to read I am contemplating to buy - once again - a printed version.

Robert Burnham gives in his fine overview on "British Memoirs of the Napoleonic Wars" the following data for Daniel Nicol, 92nd Highlanders (I mark the info / publication not yet mentioned):

"Nicol, Daniel. "Daniel Nicol's with the First Battalion of Detachments" in With Abercrombie and Moore in Egypt. Gibbs, Peter and David Watkins (Editors). Bridgnorth: First Empire; 1995. PB. Pages 14-34

(...)

Nicol, Daniel. "With Abercrombie and Moore in Egypt. From the Unpublished Diary of Sergeant Daniel Nicol" in With Napoleon at Waterloo and Other Unpublished Documents of the Waterloo and Peninsular Campaigns. Mac Kenzie and Mac Bride (ed.). London: Francis Griffiths, 1911. Pages 7-68.

Nicol, Daniel . "A British Prisoner in France, His Sufferings and his Adventures. From the Diary of Sergeant Nicol" in With Napoleon at Waterloo and Other Unpublished Documents of the Waterloo and Peninsular Campaigns. Mac Kenzie and Mac Bride (ed.). London: Francis Griffiths, 1911. Pages 203-244. Notes: Captured at Talavera, not released until 1814.

Nicol, Daniel. "The Gordon Highlanders in Spain, a Forgotten Page in their History; from the Unpublished Diary of Sergeant Nicol" in With Napoleon at Waterloo and Other Unpublished Documents of the Waterloo and Peninsular Campaigns. Mac Kenzie and Mac Bride (ed.). London: Francis Griffiths, 1911. Pages 86-111. Notes: Covered his time with the 1st Battalion of Detachments in 1809."

Best regards, Thomas

Thanks to all - I downloaded the book linked by John Fortune, and what can I say, started to read it and hardly could put it down, especially the experience of Nicol as a prisoner of war in France and his experience there (seemingly much better off the the other way round) lots and lots of interesting stuff to read there.

Extended excerpts of Daniel Nicol's journal - re. Aboukir &Alexandria, Talavera, and as a prisoner of the French, are reproduced here in 'With Napoleon at Waterloo,' 1911. The archive.org text is searchable. https://archive.org/details/withnapoleonatwa00macbuoft/page/n7/mode/2up?q=++Nicol++
