Description
<p>How much do soldiers really remember of battle? What influences that memory process? And what was it like to be in the midst of the maelstrom of combat?</p><p>Napoleonic re-enactor Liam Telfer, and Napoleonic historian Zack White sit down with the expert on the history of memory Luke Reynolds for an interview on how a living history immersive event can change the way that we understand conflict. </p><p>Drawing on their experiences at the La Boissiere Ecole immersive campaign, they relate what they remember, what they have forgotten, and what they learnt in the course of a weekend of hard marching and frenetic fighting (or in Zack's case filming).</p><p>We also discuss the role of immersive events, what they lend to the study of history, and drop a teaser about an idea that the podcast has in the pipeline.</p><p>Support the show at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/thenapoleonicwarspod" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.patreon.com/c/thenapoleonicwarspod</a></p>
