Private Wheeler sent his family a collections letters about the Peninsular War and Waterloo. They are goodnatured and peppered with incidents and moving references to life in the Peninsular.
His account is a vivid depiction of the nature of Napoleonic Warfare. He is not too keen on long descriptions of battles - a bit like Peninsular War veteran Harry Smith in that way - but his descriptions of life and detail leading up to events is lovely.
It is not surprising to know that Wheeler is used by many novellists writing about the Peninsular War and Waterloo - Wheelers his eye for detail is good and his writing is pleasant and sympathetic.
