The day was improved by some members of the 68th Re-enactment group being present in the Museum. There were opportunities for the visitors to handle the firearms.
Thanks to the DLI Museum for hosting the talk.
The talk on the 68th Light Infantry was very well attended with around 50 present (close to the room capacity). The day was not helped by me having a cold and very little voice. I had no voice at all the night before.

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 I have completed the first draft of the Mulcaster diary. At the moment it looks like I will self-publsi on Amazon, using their Createspace system. I am waiting for the first printed proof to be delivered. Hopefully it will be available this month.
I have also got a draft of Madden prepared to also sell through Amazon. I am working on a new version of the Fatal Hill to be published the same way. Whilst it is not the most profitable way, it is looking to be the easiest. Watch this space. |
