Ian Castle
Ian Castle was born in
London in 1957 and still lives in the city. He has
been writing on military history for 20 years now.
Through an early involvement in Napoleonic historical
re-enactment, starting back in the 1970s, he
recognised the limit of written material available in
the English language on the Austrian Army of the
period and, over the years, has tried to improve that
situation. He has now written two books covering the
1809 campaign and also two on 1805. In addition he
made contributions to the recently published
Encyclopedia of the French Revolutionary and
Napoleonic Wars on both the 1809 and 1805 campaigns
as well as writing articles on aspects of the 1809
campaign in various historical journals.
