Back in 1998 I travelled to the USA to take part in a huge reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg. The highlight of the three days was taking part in Pickett's Charge, the doomed frontal attack by the Confederates against the Union infantry and artillery ensconced behind a stone wall. The front cover of the special Gettysburg edition of 'Civil War News' depicted General Armistead during Pickett's Charge – and there I was right behind his left hand!

Very nice. I'm afraid I only know the feeling of shooting at Picket's Charge; it's nice to get the perspective of the recipients of our attention! |
