Armchair General Towton Recreation

Armchair General Towton Recreation

The last time Seimon asked me to help out with a photo shoot I ended up with 12 stone of American G.I. plus his parachute gear suspended from my waist... I couldn't walk properly for days. I should have realised that Seimon's photo shoots are never quite a straightforward "stand there and smile," type affair.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The November 2012 issue of Armchair General magazine features ACG Board Member and internationally-renowned forensic archaeologist Douglas D. Scott's article "Battlefield Detective: The Case of the Small Lead Ball." The diminutive (less than 30mm) lead ball - fired by a small cannon during the 1485 Battle of Bosworth - helped battlefield detectives, at long last, discover the true location of one of history's most famed battles.
