Incredible work done here. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely outstanding research, presentation and analysis along with thought provoking assessments that refute generally accepted historical conclusions.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for a most enjoyable read (1796 Arcola).
Well, you're welcome Rod. And many thanks right back for the glowing review and for being a reader.
DeleteAgree with Rod Schwager, just incredible work, a magnificent resource.
DeleteOne tiny quibble: Aspern-Essling may have been the Emperor's first defeat, but General Bonaparte had been bested twice in Italy in 1796. One was Caldiero, the other I forget the name.

Thank you, Vincent. I appreciate your compliments and readership. It makes it that much more enjoyable for me to do these with such a savvy and supportive following.
DeleteActually, to your point that Bonaparte had been bested in Italy in 1796, I would qualify that by saying that in those two battles (Caldiero and Bassano) he was not in direct command at the time; those were fought by Massena and Augereau while Bonaparte was back in Verona. So (if you don't count Arcola, which I maintain he did technically lose) Aspern-Essling was the first one he officially lost (by his own admission) when he was in personal command.
Thank you again for your kind message and support. I'll keep going.
Thank you very much for the enjoyable reading!
ReplyDeleteSo many interesting (and sometimes unconventional) point of views.
Please go on!
Best regards from Germany

Well, thank you, Andrea for reading them.
DeleteHello Jeff,
ReplyDeleteI see you updated some of your blogs, and nicely you wrote it behind the name of the battle... maybe it is also possible for you to give us an advice what this updates actually are?
I read already this battlereports and it would be interesting to see what came new without reading the whole blog again.
Thanks a lot
Andrea
It is possible. But I'm not going to. You'll just have to re-read the whole thing again. Think of the edits as 2nd editions.
DeleteAlso, I can't, for the life of me, remember what the changes were. I periodically go in and notice typos and make corrections. But for these noted, there would have been more substantial corrections or additions, sometimes based on new information.
I do remember the article on Omdurman. I received from a loyal reader, whose ancestor fought as an officer in one of the Sudanese regiments, a trove of information he had in his personal archives.
Outstanding presentation and attention to detail along with thoughtful reflection and analysis.
