Salamanca Campaign 1812
After a gap of two years, the 1812 Salamanca Campaign saw Wellington taking the offensive in Spain against Marshal Marmont's Army of Portugal.Marching from the border fortress of Ciudad Rodrigo which fell to the Allies in January, neither commander was willing to take the risk of a general action without a clear tactical advantage.The result were stand-offs as Wellington offered battle on the San Christobal Heights, but once the small French-garrisoned forts left behind in Salamanca fell, Marmont withdrew to the Douro.For over a week the two armies shared cooling waters of the river before Marmont humbugged' Wellington and fell on the Allied left flank at Castrejon.Wellington rushed to the aid of the Light and 4th divisions with the heavy cavalry.Over the following days Marmont dexterously manoeuvred Wellington back towards Salamanca, with both armies within cannon shot still not risking battle. When it seemed Wellington would have to march back to the safety of Portugal, Marmont finally made a mistake on the plains south of Salamanca on 22 July 1812, by allowing his army to become over extended.Wellington saw what was happening and after weeks of marching and counter marching, the battle the soldiers earnestly hoped for was on. In the past it has been difficult to place the fighting on the ground in the centre of the Salamanca battlefield, where vast clouds of smoke and dust that rolled along the basin' obscured vision even for those fighting.Supplementing their letters, diaries and memoires with modern geographical aids, archaeology and a stout pair of boots, it is now possible to reconcile the sequence of the battle with locations, in a way in which it was not feasible even a few years ago.

The Sicily Campaign
The Allied effort to secure the Italian island of Sicily followed hard on the heels of the North African Campaign, when an Anglo-American force had finally hemmed the Axis forces into Tunisia, where they were obliged to surrender on 13 May 1943, with over a quarter of a million German and Italian troops going into captivity.Now, intending to open the sea lanes across the Mediterranean for the first time since 1940, to dilute German strength in the theatre and knock Italy out of the war, the Allies invaded Sicily on the night of 9-10 July 1943. After just eight weeks planning and preparation, sea and airborne landings were made on the southern and south-eastern faces of the island.The campaign that followed included a further British airborne landing in mid-July before Axis forces were obliged to withdraw across the Straits of Messina to the Italian mainland, leaving Sicily in Allied hands.The six weeks of fighting cost the Allied forces almost 20,000 men killed, wounded and missing, while their opponents lost around 100,000 men killed, wounded and missing, with a further 123,000 prisoners, mostly Italian. The Sicily campaign was the first occasion that Allied forces successfully took the fight onto the home territory of an Axis power, and it provided the springboard for the Allied return to continental Europe for the first time since Dunkirk via the invasion of Italy proper at the beginning of September 1943. And it marked the beginning of formal Anglo-US co-operation that was to be a key feature in the success of the subsequent campaign in North-West Europe: British land forces in Sicily served under US General Dwight D.Eisenhower, with senior commanders including Montgomery and Patton, who subsequently occupied the same role in North-West Europe and Germany's final defeat.

The Atlanta Campaign, 1864 : Sherman's Campaign to the Outskirts of Atlanta
The campaign for Atlanta was pivotal to the outcome of the American Civil War.Roughly 190,000 men waged war across northern Georgia in a struggle that lasted 133 days.Today a national park at Kennesaw commemorates this titanic fight, and there are a surprising number of physical reminders still extant across the state.The struggle for Atlanta divides naturally into two stages.The first half of the campaign, from May to mid-July, can be defined as a war of maneuver, called by one historian the “Red Clay Minuet.” Under Joseph E.Johnston the Confederate Army of Tennessee repeatedly invited battle from strong defensive positions.Under William T. Sherman, the combined Federal armies of the Cumberland, the Tennessee, and the Ohio repeatedly avoided attacking those positions; Sherman preferring to outflank them instead.Though there were a number of sharp, bloody engagements during this phase of the campaign, the combats were limited.Only the battles of Resaca and Kennesaw Mountain could be considered general engagements.Johnston’s repeated retreats and the commensurate loss of terrain finally forced Confederate President Jefferson Davis to replace him with a more aggressive commander—John B.Hood.This work will portray the first half of the Atlanta Campaign in text and images, using both historic sketches and photographs, as well as post-war and modern images.Extant trenches, rifle pits, redoubts, shoupades, and other works, as well as the battlefields, will be covered, as well as surviving historic structures and the monuments and cemeteries that commemorate the campaign.
