Historical Adventure
David Blackmore worked for the Royal Armouries Museum for 26 years, for most of them as the Museum’s Registrar, and was part of the creative team for the Royal Armouries in Leeds.
He is the author of four non-fiction books;
Arms and Armour of the English Civil Wars.
British Cavalry in the Mid-18th Century.
Destructive and Formidable, British Infantry Firepower, 1642 – 1765, (the published version of his PhD thesis from Nottingham Trent University).
So Bloody a Day, the 16th Light Dragoons in the Waterloo Campaign.
Has written more articles and given more lectures than he can remember, and has appeared in Sean Bean’s ‘Waterloo’, teaching him how to use a sabre.
A re-enactor for forty five years, including being Lord General of the Roundhead Association, and commanding the British Light Dragoons at Waterloo 200. He commanded B Troop, 16th Light Dragons from 2014 to 2019.
David says that he is now definitely retired from re-enacting.
However, he still gets out on a horse two or three times a week, including on Johnny, the model for Michael Roberts’ horse in the ‘Wellington’s Dragoon’ series.
