The Kings reviews the army ...

On the plain outside Heidelheim, the Wittenberg army has been drawn up for review ..

some of the court are in attendance ....

The King rides across towards the centre where his lifeguard of horse are positioned in front of the army ...

he will then ride round to look at the rest of the army ....





 the army is mustered and ready for war; the movement of the Monrovia army towards the border the two Kingdoms have been confirmed, a clash of arms is in the offing .....

ECW Books (holiday purchases)

Three nice little books picked up on or just after my recent little holiday in Kent
the books on the Grenvilles are interesting and includes info on the ECW in Cornwall and Devon. The Airfix booklet is a little gem.

The head of the column ...
