Great start to the weekend - author copies have arrived!

The book is the story of those who made Napoleon's campaigns possible - the 2 million or so conscripts, and the system that brought them into the French army.

@Helionbooks have done a really great job putting it together!

It’s something we often forget - Napoleon’s armies increasingly included large contingents of allied forces, many of whom had adopted Napoleonic-style conscription to get men into the field.

Napoleon's army wasn't French?!

@GraemeCallister is back to discuss Napoleonic conscription!

Survivor of Isandlwana to corps commander in the First World War - Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien’s incredible career. Tragic to see the grave defaced, but great to see him, and by extension his soldiers, still remembered.

As we prepare for Remembrance Sunday tomorrow, I'm reminded of a journey I made a few weeks ago between tour dates, when I took the opportunity to pay my respects to a sadly forgotten hero of the First World War.

Delighted to see the first couple of reviews of 'Napoleon's Conscripts' on Amazon - both 5 star!

Please forgive the self-indulgent post, but it's always a relief to hear people find your work interesting!

And it's very kind of reviewers to take the time to comment!
