What is this all about?

We are steadily building an on-line database of military engagements from various wars and campaigns throughout history. It will include statistics, unit strengths and biographies of the commanders involved.

It is an on-going, interactive project with visitors being invited to contribute articles, information and discussion to expand and enhance the data as a resource for all those interested in military history.

It is not intended to glorify war, or other conflict. Images such as the one above are a common sight in many towns and cities, and the casualty figures on the database should speak for themselves.

War brings out both the worst and the best in human nature. Great feats of courage, sacrifice, faith, friendship and honour sit alongside cruelty, suffering, slaughter and stupidity but these things should be remembered, commemorated and learned from, not forgotten or 'brushed under the carpet'. We hope you agree.
