Robert Kershaw is currently researching the 1815 Waterloo battlefield to begin writing a series of magazines to support the issue of a specially commissioned chess set to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the battle. This will display both commanders and uniforms worn by Wellington’s and Napoleon’s armies during the battle. The instalments can be bound together to form a full account of the battle of Waterloo. It will retrace the footsteps of the soldiers portrayed by the chess pieces alongside battle analysis, terrain surveys, technology and tactics, battlefield tour tips and a ‘Waterloo investigator’ examining myths and recent scientific studies relating to the battlefield. 

Robert Kershaw is currently researching in Southern Holland to support a future book, which is to chronicle what happened on a single street during the battle of Arnhem in 1944.

On the 26 September 2011 he is giving a presentation on the Battle of Crete May 1941 at the Rifles Museum in Winchester, based on his account taken from Sky Men.

A follow-up issue of the Battlefields series magazine is planned for 2012. The theme will be Decisive Battles, and will chronicle the battles of Hastings 1066, Waterloo 1815 and Stalingrad 1942-3 in the same way as its predecessor Against all Odds.

In August 2012 he is leading a battlefield tour in support of the Bridges to Arnhem project. This is a high profile motor-rally following the route of the Market-Garden corridor from Belgium to Arnhem across the five major bridges fought over in Southern Holland during September 1944. Veterans from all the participating nations are taking part, sponsored by big names in the car industry to raise funds in support of Help for Heroes.

In June Robert Kershaw led an American group from Stephen Ambrose Tours during a D-Day battlefield tour commemoration from Normandy to Paris. He is due to lead a further tour in September.
