Britain's Forgotten Campaign: Graham and the Netherlands
In 1813 and 1814, the British army was enjoying an unremitting period of success, or was it? Why were the British so interested in going back to the Netherlands after the disasterous expeditions of recent memory? Andrew Bamford returns to the show to talk about the British expedition to the Low Countries in 1813 and 14. We discussed the misconceptions, the characters at the heart of the story and all the action in a double bill on the campaign that is so often pushed the sidelines in favour of the more glamorous events of Wellington success in the Peninsular. This is Britain’s forgotten campaign: Graeme and the Netherlands.
