This Funzing Experience:

Kensal Green Cemetery is the last resting place of probably more participants in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars than any other civilian location. Over two hundred members of the army and navy of the time are there, as well as a number of civilian witnesses. We propose an event that would remember them and the turbulent times they lived through.

John Haines, military history expert and Kensal Green tour guide, will lead a walk in the cemetery looking at the monuments of notable military and civilian personalities.

David Symington, a military history researcher and re-enactor will lead an interactive presentation, demonstrating and talking about the uniform and weapons of the time.

The event will also cover the social history and culture of the period, including entertainment and the roles of women and families.
