About the Authors

David Blackmore was born in Crickhowell, south Wales, in 1955. Until recently he worked for the Royal Armouries, and he is now a museum consultant and writer and researcher concentrating on the period from the English Civil War to the mid-eighteenth century and cavalry in particular. A lifelong interest in military history and rugby led him into re-enactment. From 1989 to 1995 he was Lord General of the Roundhead Association, and he now rides with Cobhams Dragoons, c.1746. He is the author of Arms and Armour of the English Civil Wars , lives in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, and rides whenever he can.

Dr Christopher Duffy is a military historian and former lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and the Army Staff College.

Jill Harden is employed by the National Trust for Scotland to provide archaeological advice and undertake archaeological work for properties across the Highlands and Islands. She has worked intensively on the Culloden Battlefield Memorial Project over the last five years, with the aim of ensuring challenging yet accurate information for visitors to the battlefield. Although most of her studies over the past twenty years have been associated with cultural heritage management, in landscapes and museums, she has also worked on the sites of conflict at Auldearn, Glencoe and Glenshiel.

Elspeth Masson was Principal Teacher of History and Modern Studies at Crieff High School in Perthshire, and developed a particular interest in the Forty-Five and its effect upon Highland life, producing much of the material which she used with second-year classes. After eight months in Ghana, where she had been given the responsibility of raising academic standards in a rural mission school, shewith her husband, Davidreturned to live in the Highlands. Having volunteered to produce educational material for use in the new Culloden Visitors Centre, she was instead given the opportunity to research the battlefield memorials, a task which she found both challenging and rewarding.

Dr Tony Pollard studied archaeology at the University of Glasgow, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level (MA 1987, PhD 1995). He worked as a Senior Project Manager for both GUARD (Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division) and the Field Unit of University College London. Along with Neil Oliver he co-presented the BBC television series Two Men in a Trench , which between 2002 and 2004 introduced battlefield archaeology to an international audience. He was appointed Director of the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology at Glasgow University in early 2006. Over the last ten years he has carried out archaeological projects on battlefields in South and North Africa, South America, Europe and the UK, including several seasons of fieldwork at Culloden. He has written widely on archaeology and history and is co-editor of the Journal of Conflict Archaeology .

Stuart Reid was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, and educated at Aberdeen Grammar School and Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen (19747), where he studied librarianship, majoring in historical bibliography and local history. He worked as a librarian before going on to more exciting things as a boatman, diving support technician, soldier (Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, 198086), cartographer and surveyor. Has also cut down trees, built bridges, climbed mountains, jumped out of helicopters and worked in the movies, as well as doing various other jobs once considered essential prerequisites for writing books. His numerous works on military history include: Like Hungry Wolves: Culloden Moor, 16 April 1746 .

Dr Jeffrey Stephen worked as a historical researcher on the Culloden redevelopment project and is currently employed as a Research Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Strathclyde. His research interests include Presbyterianism in Scotland from the Reformation to the Disruption, the post-revolution church, Anglo-Scottish union and Jacobitism/anti-Jacobitism. He is the author of Scottish Presbyterians and the Act of Union, 1707 (Edinburgh University Press, 2007).

Dr Daniel Szechi is a graduate of the University of Sheffield and St Antonys College, Oxford.
