French troops in the War of Polish Succession

 As it's an anniversary this year I thought we could post some pics. This is from the Osprey Louis XV's army. Based on Gudenus by the looks of it.

Happy St. George's Day

 For St. George's day. The 36th. Late 90s. They used to do a week long event every year at Corgarff Castle and they always used to invite me but I always declined. Now of course they are no more and no more invites. Moral of the story? If you get invited to do something do it.
