  1. I would assume you’d appreciate British officers swords with provenance? A piece of kit with them as they made history 😊

  6. Capt EC Midwinter RE was at the battle and wrote a telegram I have with the last words being “Great Fight “. He was to control the Sudan Railway till 1922. He was one of Kitcheners Boys

  7. How about Maj Miller-Wallnut Gordon Highlanders and Sir General Beauchamp Duff, Commander in Chief of the Indian Army

  8. Most exciting British battles are ones that at a moment can go either way. Easy victories are not celebrated as this and the charges in the Crimea and others of course 😊

  13.  @TheIceman567  best you learn, Upper and Lower Canada circ 1791. Also parts from mid 1500's known as Canada. If you're going to criticize do it right!!

  14.  @TheIceman567  called "Canada". what don't you understand???? Are you 12?

  15.  @TheIceman567  I said Canada won which is a correct statement. The Americans attacked Canada. Stubborn aren't you when you nit pick and get it wrong. I doubt you know what the 7th Hussars were doing in Canada.

  18. The 31st Regiment of Foot was led by Captain Longworth at the Battle of Sobraon. The higher ranking officers were either dead or wounded. His Wilkinson sword is etched with his name and family crest. David Fitzgerald Longworth. He willed his effects including his swords to his cousin in Eastern Canada

  19. You had to be physically tough to be a British soldier in India. Disease and dysentery probably killed more than in battle

  20.  @TheHistoryChap  yes the officers who knew how to fight and manage all sorts of obstacles. I have a named infantry officers sword who fought through the India Mutiny and chased and caught rebels. Difficult to find a sword positively connected. I do like the British India swords that did not conform to regulation patterns.

  21. Had the British realized the true value of America they would have poured more military resources into it and it would be flying the Union Jack today 😅

  24.  @TheHistoryChap  GREAT !! I have particular interest in the RHG in this time frame and the troopers used the 1848p sword said to cut men from head to waist belt. I just wish I could recall the source. They carried long heavy swords with HC type officer guard and the pommels were brass.
