Today on the blog we have a new video from Pen and Sword author Bernard Wilkin. Bernard works as a historian at the State Archives of Belgium and specialises in the history of the French army and the French people at war. In this video, Bernard explain how young men were conscripted in Napoleon’s army between 1798 and 1814. Enjoy!
