I've been trying to work out whether Twitter is worth doing recently and I fear I may be getting a little addicted... I began thinking of describing battles and wars in just six words which happily filled a few minutes between invoices and event planning for next year.

Today the funeral is being held for Harry Patch, the last surviving British soldier to have fought in the trenches of the Western Front during the First World War. Somehow, his death has made that terrible conflict seem all the more distant. As we watch it is slowly passing into history - the number of people who were there is dwindling rapidly and soon their voices will grow silent.

Osprey New York have just moved office, which inevitably means that we have had some serious cleaning out to do. When I started this process I stumbled across some very odd items - a series of primed but unpainted miniatures that I will hopefully be painting with an old co-worker, some George R.R. Martin books, a large metal statue of a fairie. But the most interesting so far was a scrapbook of papers and photos from 2nd Lt William Ruxton during his years in France during World War I.

... Osprey Assault body armour, that is. Come autumn, the existing Osprey tactical kit will be replaced with the new, lighter Assault design, intended to provide the soldier with the same level of protection, with less of the weight and cumbersome bulk. Intended specifically for troops on foot, the redesign comes about following experiences in Afghanistan, where foot patrols are more common due to the terrain and conditions...

At the beginning of June I posted up a quick blog about Terry Crowdy, author of Deceiving Hitler and Military Misdemeanours, who was speaking at the International Napoleonic Symposium. in Austria. Set up to commemorate the anniversary of the 1809 campaigns, Terry was due to present a talk about the life of a conscript. The full lecture is due to be published online by the International Napoleonic Symposium (we will link to it as soon as it is available), but until then, Terry has very kindly provided us with a brief synopsis of his talk.

In the early hours on June 6, 1944, the largest airborne and amphibious assault the world has ever seen was set into operation. Over 200,000 allied troops descended upon the northern coast of France and in the face of fierce German resistance pushed inland, as wave upon wave of troops invaded the mine-littered beaches.

On Wednesday, Osprey author Terry Crowdy is heading to Vienna to speak at the International Napoleonic Symposium. an event that has been organised for the bicentennial of Napoleon's campaigns against Austria in 1809.
On Thursday he will be presenting a paper on 'a conscript's story' - telling the story of a French soldier as he is conscripted, (barely) trained and sent off on campaign.
