Because of my interest in military history and modelling, my wife jokes that I am a reincarnated soldier.
Now I don't believe in reincarnation, but it's interesting to think
where and when I might have fought and died through the years.....
I based my answer on my areas of interest and also family history. My
line goes back to France, + interest in Napoleonic warfare could mean I
was killed during the Napoleonic wars.
At this point I can embellish it and say I was killed in the advance of
the Old Guard at Waterloo. Hey, if I have to go, it will be in a blaze
of glory.
Now I know a lot of people won't have European roots and are interested
in Waterloo. I'm also interested in Gettysburg but I didn't die
there..lol.
My family left France mid 1800's for Australia. I think my next
soldierly incarnation may have been WWI. For this I would say the
Western Front.
For WWII, possibly a Hurricane pilot.
So here's my (wierd) question...If you are a reincarnated soldier, in which battle(s) were you killed?
If nothing else this has sparked an interest in tracing my French line further back which could be very interesting.
