If you have an interest in the Volunteer movement during the period you may be interested in contacting this group. During the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars Britain became a vast armed camp, not only of regular soldiers and sailors preparing for overseas service, but of many thousands of ordinary men who answered the call to arms for Britain's home defence. What happened to the many Militia, Fencible, Volunteer and Yeomanry units? What trace of local defences and plans are left, to which these men would have marched had the enemy landed? This Study Group has been formed to bring together the local histories of these men and units and where possible put a name or identity to those ordinary men who stepped forward in uncertain times. This Group also has its own newsletter - The Defender. Contact: David Bell, 32 Abbotts House, Pimlico, London, SW1V 3RN.
