Wow, firing a Brown Bess from the walls was a moment that shall live in me forever.
Gordon, what unit were you with? (just curious)
During the 90's/early 2000's I was a member of the BAR's Feldjäger Corps (von Prueschenk's Co'y), and until early last year was adjutant for Joseph Brant's Volunteers, as well as "attached" to Butler's Rangers (Frey's Co'y) & the 84th RoF Royal Highland Emigrants (all BAR units).
Now, given distance & location, I'm concentrating on maritime impressions of the late 16th century ("gentleman of fortune", based upon my 1st cousin 8x removed who was a pirate raiding with Avery & Tew in the Indian Ocean), & as a Rev War privateer.
