THE OBJECTIVES OF THE SOCIETY
-
To
promote the public education and appreciation of the Peninsular War between
the years 1807-1814.
-
To
promote the public education and appreciation of the Waterloo campaign of
1815.
-
To
encourage research on all matters pertaining to the campaigns and to assist in
publication and corroboration of such research.
-
To
recreate the battlefields of these campaigns for public display onto a
tabletop scenario.
The society concentrates
on researching a particular action of the war, and then begins to form a battle
breakdown scenario
by consulting the available references and archives. (The
society holds an extensive library and offers an information service).
When time and money permits, an excursion to the
battlefield is highly recommended. With all the information at hand we then
produce a thesis or study
and invite members to participate in a tabletop
re-creation, from there, we attend shows around the south to demonstrate the
toil of our labours.
Although the P.N.S. is essentially a research
group, we often travel to some of the more unusual corners of Belgium,
France, Portugal and Spain
traversing the fields of glory. We are
constantly endeavouring to secure a window of education and understanding of the
Napoleonic wars.
