Hi Bernard, Just got back from the 200th anniversary commemorations of the Battle of Austerlitz, near Brno in the Czech Republic. The organisers and the various Napoleonic re-enactment regiments ( from many countries ) put on a supurb display with the battle re-enactment itself ( fought in the snow ) being broadcast live on Czech TV. It was a real Napoleonic festival, although with it being Napoleans greatest victory, it was naturally the french ( inc the French defense minister & other officials ) who turned up in large numbers. I was just wondering whether ( with your deep rooted interest in the Napoleonic wars and the Pennisular wars in particular ) these events also appealed to you. Perhaps you even went there yourself ? anyway I was just curious as to whether you might turn up for any of the 200th anniversary events commemorating the various battles of the Pennisular Wars in 3 years time.
