Hi John,
Glad you enjoyed it. I did.

Kurt,

Bless you Kurt.
Don't bother returning the presents - I still have a birthday coming up...
Hope Christmas and the New Year bring you your heart's desire.

Whilst the lanyard was prescribed regulation equipment, photographs showing it in use, in my experience, are much...

Note the pistol lanyard in the last photo.

And it's sometimes a shock, in seeing them, to realize what soldiering must have been like. For Ft. Reno, for example, the labor involved in cutting cottonwoods for the fort must have been backbreaking. What is quite astounding is how much was done in building these palisaded forts in such a short ...

Thanks Pat,
That's another one we didn't see.

Please remember us folks who are only allowed that wretched "snippet" view!
