He was a frequent visitor to the Sandhurst library long after he ceased teaching at the academy. The last lecture he gave there that I attended was about the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion, to launch his new book on the subject.

A lovely man and a pleasure to have seen him at Sandhurst - his work on Frederick the Great was an inspiration.
Sad news.

. My love for the eighteenth century can be traced to coming unexpectedly upon a wee second hand bookshop, half way up the hill to the castle . I went in and came out with a second hand book club edition of his book on the Prussian Army published in 1974. This was 31/3/87- l just checked what I wrote inside the book. This was the first of many of his books I bought over the years which have been a constant joy. I became a SYWA member, got into imaginations, discovered The Duchy of Tradgardland and have had so much added to my hobby life. I believe Duffy’s book was the catalyst and more besides.
