Sir William is my latest ECW command stand, for a big For King and Parliament Roundway Down Game that I have planned for May. You can read more about him at the below, also all the other command stands are listed below in the same thread. link |

Lovely command stand.I was always a fan of Hopton though so I will have to give this one a pantomime style boo hiss. |

Lovely! My favourite ECW character bar none! I reproduce here his famous letter before Lansdown.. To my noble friend Sir Ralph Hopton at Wells Sir, The experience I have of your worth and the happiness I have enjoyed in your friendship are wounding considerations when I look at this present distance between us. Certainly my affection to you is so unchangeable that hostility itself cannot violate my friendship, but I must be true wherein the cause I serve. That great God, which is the searcher of my heart, knows with what a sad sense I go about this service, and with what a perfect hatred I detest this war without an enemy; but I look upon it as an Opus Domini and that is enough to silence all passion in me. The God of peace in his good time will send us peace. In the meantime, we are upon the stage and must act those parts that are assigned to us in this tragedy. Let us do so in a way of honour and without personal animosities. Whatever the outcome I will never willingly relinquish the title of Your most affectionated friend. William Waller |
