I greatly enjoyed your book about the battle of Waterloo. I’ve read others and will no doubt read more too in the run up to the bi-centenary – but yours brought life and a lot of clarity in shortish order. One editing point tho – I don’t think I’ve misunderstood – but the references to Sir John (Charles?) Colville (pages 267, 326, 327, 328 and 341) seem to relate to Sir John Colborne?

Anyway thanks very much for the pleasure you’ve given over the years with your brilliant storytelling.
