I was down in London last week for the Annual General Meeting of the Friends of the Lines of Torres Vedras (more on that on the FLTV website) and I spent a day at the National Archives.
I was there partially at the suggestion of Rory Muir but also thinking about what I do next. I am thinking about completing the story of the Royal Engineers in the Napoleonic Wars. There is still lots to cover. Rory was particularly keen for me to look at Copenhagen 1807, but there is also the Waterloo Campaign The Low Countries 1813-14; Walcheren; the War of 1812; the Spanish East Coast in the Peninsular War; South America 1806-7; the Cape 1805; oh ... and do I do Egypt?
This will be as big as the first project, Wellington's Engineers
