Brian Withecombe writes mostly about a Napoleonic Wars figure he created called Giles Courtenay. He is a partly retired Solicitor, hoping to retire fully in the not too far distant future. He is married to Maureen, who is also his long suffering Secretary in his firm, and who assists with editing (and criticising where appropriate) his books.
