Dear Bernard, Bought Azincourt on October 2nd and finished it on the 4th. It was pretty much unputdownable. excellent book. But you cannot finish the story on just Azincourt. The Hundred Years war has a long way to go and you have to get Nick to Orleans and up against Joan of Arc You mention the Anglo/French rivalry she is possibly the most famous person in that besides Boney and Montcalm let alone the Hundred Years war. If you don't get Nick there it would be like Sharpe with out getting him to Waterloo (On the opposite side).
You have mentioned your ancestors moving to Canada in the 19th century, I was wondering if any of your ancestors were in Canada during the war of 1812 and will you ever do a separate from the Peninsular war) series on that war since like the British soldiers in Burma in ww2 they called themselves the forgotten army and if anyone could get them remembered its you. Anyway congrats again on Azincourt yours sincerely Geraint
P.S If you have not read it I can recommend Stephen Brummell's Paths of Glory the Life and death of General James Wolfe.
Thanks! Glad to know you enjoyed Azincourt. Not sure just yet if there will be another, but it's under consideration!
They didn't emigrate until the mid 19th Century, and then went to the far west, so no, no connections with the War of 1812 . . . . which I'm not planning to write about, but never say never!
Thank You . . . . I haven't read it
