Upcoming Book "Wellington on Napoleon; The Duke's Commentary on Napoleon's Disastrous 1812 Invasion of Russia" due to be published
Mine have a few library marks on the front, but they do the job well enough

Originally posted this on my Twitter account, but deserves posting here too. I don't think there will ever be a book released on Wellington that could top these. Absolutely indispensable

Got my hands on the silver one since. Shows Wellington meeting Blucher, a wounded Prince of Orange, and the shadow of Napoleon looming over all

Time to read about Soult

Rather pricey to learn about Suvorov it seems

Spotted Wellington in a bookstore. Glad to see he's getting about

I own this one they released. Also released a silver coin, and a set of EU currency in a Waterloo anniversary cover

Picked up some records and books from a shop I found in Bath

A note written by the Marquess of Anglesey, more commonly known as Uxbridge, lost his leg at Waterloo. A small snippet of history to own

Have been reading into Lord Mountbatten lately. Certainly think the Lownie book is the best, if also the most damning at times with it's evidence

Commemorative medallions. The death of Wellington, 1852, and the statue of him at the Royal Exchange 1844

My personal favourite Wellington portrait. Took the photo yesterday at Apsley House, after listening to a very good talk on Waterloo and black soldiers there

Picked up two books from Apsley House, Wellington's London Home

A new arrival to add to my Wellington souvenirs. The Wellington banknote, in gold

Wellington came

Two biographies I read lately, and enjoyed.

Came last week for my grans 100th birthday, a card from the King.

Some envelopes addressed to the Duke of Wellington which I bought

Thought this was a meme until I checked his real account, I was wrong

Hastings battlefield. Rather overpriced, and not well kept, is my unfortunate verdict.
The history of the nation changed here, though you wouldn't know it from a visit.

He has some tea too, bought some from the museum at Waterloo
