Featherstone (20 March 1918 - 3 September 2013) was a British author of more than forty books on wargaming and military history. Donald Featherstone during the Second World War, he joined the Royal Armoured Corps. Featherstone was first introduced to wargaming by reading H. G. Wells' Little Wars. His second opponent was Tony Bath many years later in 1955. His wife saw a description of a solo wargame being played in Southampton by Tony Bath and Featherstone then got in touch. In 1960 the two of them began editing the UK version of the War Game Digest, a seminal wargaming newsletter started by Jack Scruby in the United States. In 1962, he started his own periodical, Wargamer's Newsletter. He produced this each month without a gap, with 214 editions until January 1980. In 1961, he organized the first UK wargames convention at his home in Southampton. Two years later he organized the first National Wargames Championships Convention at a local hotel which was attended by about a hundred wargamers from all over the country. In 1977 he was one of the founder members of the British Commission for Military History. After a discussion with Paddy Griffith, Featherstone realized that wargaming as a hobby could aid considerably in understanding military history. In this lively and useful study Donald Featherstone, after defining 'small wars' and describing the Victorian soldier and his weapons, covers all these minor actions in detail. Most of the accounts are complements by specially drawn maps and plans which have never before been collected together in a single volume. Among the conflict covered are: Opium War, Sind, Gwalior War, Sikh War, Afghan War, Boer, Kaffirs, North-West Frontier, Burmese War, Eureka Stockage, Taku Forts, Maori Wars, Sikkim, Ambela Expedition, Red River Expedition, Ashanti War, Zulu War, Suakin, Nile Campaign, Chitral, Mashonaland Field Force, Tirah Expeditioanry Force, Boxer Rebellion, and Sudan., David & Charles, 1973, 3<
