    1. [HWE] Dublin Seminar, 18th October 2003
    2. Tony Fuller
    3. Hi Guys Just some feedback on the Dublin Huguenot seminar of last weekend. There were 8 papers on a variety of subjects dealing directly or more loosely with Huguenot Military Officers in Ireland. They ranged from the Hug Soc Williamite Army project team reporting on progress with various aspects of their work, an overview paper from Harman Murtagh on Huguenot Regiments, a briefing on sources available at the venue, The Gilbert Library in Dublin, D Ressinger giving an excellent paper on French naming traditions and two on the Huguenot soldiers in the VOC and English East India Company. And there were all the opportunities to meet people, put faces to names (now I know what Shirley Arabin looks like), chances to meet new people with similar research interests and to get a wider view of the Huguenot military establishment. All in all, for me, a good weekend, lots of intellectual stimulation and great company. The papers were available on the day but there is now a suggestion (nothing more at this stage) that they may be combined with those from the Huguenot Soldiering Conference held in London November 2002 and published in book form. More on that when or if it becomes a firmer proposition. Regards Tony Fuller
