I contributed a feature to the latest issue of the National Army Museum’s Muster magazine (click on the images below). My article identifies two of the figures depicted a painting in the museum’s collection and shares details of their lives gleaned from military memoirs and archival research.
Muster magazine is circulated to NAM members. Find out more about the museum’s membership programme here: https://www.nam.ac.uk/support-us/members
I published an edition of the autobiography of Thomas Jackson, which is quoted in the feature, with Helion & Co. in 2018: https://www.helion.co.uk/military-history-books/narrative-of-the-eventful-life-of-thomas-jackson-militiaman-and-coldstream-sergeant-1803-15.php
1812 and all that
