I just started to re-read one of my favorites: "Gentleman Ranker" by John Jennings.
Published way back in 1942, the story follows a spoiled young Englishman from Britain to America. He finds himself serving in the ranks in the 44th Regt. of Foot and is nearly killed along with General Braddock in the massacre on the Monongahela River in 1755. The experience changes him into someone he would not have recognized in his earlier life.
