Additionally, it is noted that he was the (anonymous) author of "Advice to the Officers of the British Army: With the addition of some Hints to the Drummer and Private Soldier", which was published in 1783 as a mocking look backwards on the conduct of the war against the American Colonies. Every instance of corruption, disregard and vice are suggested for every rank of the army. Tongue in cheek, but obviously rooted in truth, it is a great companion to "Vulgar Tongue". It also contains a satirical portrait of Jeremiah Hodges, Grose's erstwhile commanding officer in the Surrey militia.
