The Society for Army Historical research accepts nominations each year for the award of the Templar Medal for the best new book. They have also recently introduced a new category; Best First Book and Wellington's Engineers has been nominated. There are two other entries in this category. It is a great honour just to be nominated. The Award ceremony is on 28 April 2016 at the Tower of London. I will be there.
Yesterday, I spent the morning at Catterick camp doing a briefing for the Sappers who are going out to Spain and Portugal on a battlefield tour later this year. Thanks also to the regiment for your hospitality.
14 April 2016. Wellington's Engineers makes number one on the Peninsular War book list. It did not stay there long, but I will take it :-) Thanks to anyone who has bought the book.
