Milestone Celebrations and Giving Back!

Hip, Hip, Huzzah! 


This blog is celebrating...

...passing the 100,000 mark...

...450 posts...

...and 180 followers!

Monsieur le Rosbif & Johnny Frog has had a rush of milestones to celebrate all at once! Thanks again to all my followers and all those who regularly take time to leave comments. It is much appreciated.

To celebrate and share the love I am offering my followers the chance to win 4 books from my personal library. All are military histories (what else?) and all have relevance to the theme of the blog (Napoleonic military history), with 2 devoted purely to that theme.

Click the images to read a review of each.






If you'd like to go into the draw there a couple of simple rules:

  1. You have to be a follower of this blog
  2. You have to leave a comment on this post stating which book you're interested in (you can nominate all if you want to!)
  3. The draw will happen on Saturday 6th of July 12pm AEST (+10 GMT)
  4. The judge's ruling is final!
Best of luck and thank you all, again, for your continued support!

(Feel free to spread the word, too!)

  1. Congratulations sir, quite an achievement. I qualify as a long time follower off you so I will participate in this generous give-away. My preference is for the Keegan's The Mask of Command.

  8. Milestones and buses eh! Fabulous achievements Sir and richly deserved. I shan't enter given the costs of P & P to old Blighty, but I would like to wish you every continued success in the months to come.

  9. Congratulations on some well-earned milestones. I'd love to enter for any of the first three books, though I suspect international post to Canada is likely a bit high.

    1. @Michael and FMB-

      I've been the beneficiary of largesse from the northern hemisphere, so, as the post title says, I'm giving back. I'm quite happy to cop the expense, so if there's a title that tickles your fancy, please don't be shy!

    It seems that the generous give-aways to mark your auspicious milestone has caused an avalanche of comments. I have also succumbed to temptation. Put me down for book 2 or 1.

    Well done to start and sustain such a high quality blog. You write the best AARs bar none.

  16. Well done - the milestone achievement is impressive as is your generosity. Its a great little blog and you should be justifiably proud of it. What a great selection of books too! I'm torn between Keegan's 'Mask of Command' and Perret's 'Against All Odds' - I'm an admirer of Keegan (so I know it'll be a good read) but Perret's looks really interesting - I love those stirring tales of daring-do! Again, congratulations and well done Monsieur Rosbif!

    Cheers,
    Doc

  18. I would like to add my congratulations as well. I really enjoy reading your blog, so I am not surprised at how well it has done.

    Please enter me for the draw for "The Mask of Command." I like Keegan, and haven't read that one.

    Cheers, Chris.

  22. Well gunned sir! Wish you joy on your victory, and love the idea of sharing books in this way. If you don't mind, I may take your idea and spread the "word" as it were.

    That famous charges book looks quite interesting.
    Cheers
