A real possibility exists of a battlefield tour to Germany and Austria next year to coincide with the bicentenary of Wagram and/or Aspern-Essling. It would be great to have old friends from previous Midas Tours battlefield tours join me. Details are still being finalised but obviously the tour will take place in either May or July of 2009. I am also considering a battlefield tour to Spain to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Talavera. Please get in touch if you are interested: alan @ alanrooney.co.uk
