Again within the seventies (once I was nonetheless at School) I used to be a member of an English Civil Struggle re-enactment group referred to as The Greate Riot Society. The truth is, as Col. Ralph Weldon, I used to be ultimately in command of the Parliamentarian contingent (Roundheads to you!) All good issues should come to an finish, nevertheless it was enjoyable for a couple of years and took me and a few nice associates all around the nation.
On a current version of ‘Flog It’ there was an merchandise a few man who had constructed a trench system in his again backyard in Surrey: as quickly as he spoke, I recognised him as Andrew Robertshaw, who had been a Royalist within the society. Good to see he is made a profession from his curiosity in navy historical past!
