A great deal has been written about the Napoleonic wars over the last two centuries and there is a tendency to think that nothing new can be written on the subject; but nothing could be further from the truth.

The Gareth Glover Collection has been instigated to bring new and thought provoking information regarding this rich and spectacular period of our history into the public domain.

The publication of this original archival material, makes available to researchers and military enthusiasts alike, a mass of first hand information without the very time consuming and costly visits to the hundreds of archives around the world in which this material is housed.

Research

Gareth has spent many years working with service records and medal lists analysing the results to establish the services of individuals and can offer this service to anyone who wants to understand the role played by their ancestor in any period since 1750 to 1950.

Battlefield Tours

Walking the battlefield with a real expert who can give you the latest thinking on every aspect of the battle cannot be beaten and who can tailor the tour to the knowledge of the group visiting, from absolute novices to 'Armchair experts' and I welcome lively debate!
