His ambition is to become an officer of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. With the armies of Napoleon Bonaparte rampaging across Europe, Britain needs more troops.

After ten months of training, he and his comrades are commissioned into a newly raised artillery company, which soon joins an expeditionary force to Portugal. However, all is not well, for an unresolved conflict from the Academy has pursued Robert into the army.
