Dear Bernard
On the napoleon website, there is an interesting discussion on whether Wellington could have beaten Davout if they had ever faced each other and whether Suchet could have done better had been taken out of the Eastern theatre, I wondered what your own thoughts were on the subject? Do you think Davout could have bested Wellington and seeing as how Suchet lost at Castalla could he have done better than Soult in the main battles against Wellington or even Hill ?
Also will you ever visit Chester in the near future, when you visit the UK you only seem to do London, there are fans of your books in the north west too as well you know, besides the battle brunaburh was only round the corner on the wirral.
Yours sincerely
Geraint
P.S Dunno if you have read it or not but there is an excellent book called A bold and ambitious enterprise by Andrew Bamford on the British campaign in the Low Countries in 1813/14 commanded by Thomas Graham, which is worth a read especially since it’s a campaign that has not been studied very much.
