Hi Joey

I have used Military Heritage several times and they are very helpful and service, although not prompt, is reliable
I would suggest phoning them and chatting about your requirements

Thanks Dan

I am searching in vain for the earliest recorded percussion firearm
The closest I have managed to get is Joseph Manton making reference to them in his 1811 book
In 1807 the idea was patented so a few fowling firearms must have been produced before 1811
Does anyone know of any example
Many thanks

We are on our way to remember Corunna 1809

Thanks for everyones continued help
I am making progress with Jonas it really does (suprisingly) seem to be a popular first name for the late 1700's
If I can get some birth records I will post them
I am amazed as Jonas is not a name I had encountered before

I am researching the regimental records of the 32nd Cornwall regiment of foot 1808-1815
It is certainly JNS
JMS I could work out for James but JNS ???

We are having a bit of trouble
In our regimental role a lot of names are obvious like Chas for Charles etc
But "JNS" has got us baffled
Any ideas?
Could Johnson be a first name in the early 1800's??

Hi Cleggy No if i understood the debate/articles correctly the original article claimed that it was only Bluchers actions after Waterloo that decided the downfall of Napoleon, and the replying article said that these actions nearly had the opposite effect as Napoleon was being politically removed an...

Exactly Cleggy you have perfectly countered his argument The artillery must be to the side of a line to sweep through as suggested whereas a column being densly packed each hit will count and count again The English/Cornish line of two or three deep would result in six to eight casualties per artill...
