Marc Geerdink-Schaftenaar (Harderwijk, 1972) began studying military history after casting his first tin soldiers when he was 12. Since then, he has been fascinated with history, especially when he discovered re-enactment and living history. Studying for his degree in teaching, he began writing articles, giving lectures and publishing documents. The Dutch Army’s Regiment Limburgse Jagers presented him with an award for his research on their military history. He has written a two-volume study for Helion of the Dutch army in the eighteenth century, For Orange and the States. He lives in Julianadorp, the Netherlands, with his wife Jolijn and four kids.
