<p>Historian and Rifles veteran Tim Saunders joins us to delve into the history, ethos, and legacy of the 95th Rifles, a distinguished unit of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars. We discuss their formation, training, and the impact of their unique weaponry, including the Baker rifle. The discussion also explores the challenges faced by the unit, their portrayal in popular culture through Bernard Cornwell&#39;s &#39;Sharp&#39;e series, and the lasting influence of the 95th on modern military practices.</p><p>Tim&#39;s books: <a href="https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tim-Saunders/a/227" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tim-Saunders/a/227</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Support the show: </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/thenapoleonicwarspod" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.patreon.com/c/thenapoleonicwarspod</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p>95th Rifles, Napoleonic Wars, British Army, light infantry, military history, Tim Saunders, Baker rifle, green jacket, Peninsula War, legacy</p><p><strong>Time Stamps: All timings approximate</strong></p><p>00:00 Introduction to the 95th Rifles</p><p>02:17 The Formation and Evolution of the 95th Rifles</p><p>12:20 The Ethos and Character of the Rifle Corps</p><p>19:09 Training Regimen and Marksmanship of the 95th</p><p>27:08 The Baker Rifle: A Game Changer for the 95th</p><p>32:59 The Evolution of Wellington&#39;s Army</p><p>41:35 The Significance of the Green Jacket</p><p>42:06 The Impact of the Peninsula War</p><p>49:34 Challenges and Failures of the 95th</p><p>55:06 The Legacy of the 95th and Popular Culture</p>
