Richard, thank you so much for the response to my questions on the yeomanry, fencible volunteer regiments!! The amazing detail you provide is priceless, and it would take forever and countless volumes to find that kind of information.
I had no idea that Wooley, Deakin and Osborn were actually in a cavalry unit! Now thats dedication, actually using thier own products in drill.
The anecdote by Sir Walter Scott is fantastic and gotta save that one!!

Gotta admit I'd be pretty concerned if I went to the doctor and he came in wearin a helmet and flak jacket!

All the best,
Jim
