The Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort's Own) was an infantry rifle regiment of the British Army, formed in 1800 to provide sharpshooters, scouts and skirmishers. They later became the 95th Regiment of foot. The brigade was distinguished by its use of green uniforms as standard in place of the traditional red-the first regular infantry corps in the British Army to do so.
John Jenkins was a Captain in the 2nd Battalion of the 95th Rifles, and saw much action, during the Peninsula War. During the Battle of Vittoria, Jenkins was fatally wounded during the attack on the village of Hernandad. He was to die of these wounds four weeks later.
