Lambton's 68th

 "The Lambton’s 68th Regiment of Foot will be appearing at Moira Furnace Museum and Country Park this weekend to take part in their living history festival. 

This will be the first time since 2019 we have appeared as Lambton’s and are looking forward to portraying the regiment as it was when it was first founded!"

From Yves Martin (la Sabretache)

 "Gardes Françaises débuts du règne de Louis XV

Ces sanguines me semblent représenter un garde et un sergent des gardes françaises au début du règne de Louis XV

Mais j'avoue être un peu "au delà" de mes connaissances... "

Exhibition at the Kelvingrove

 My brother went to Glasgow for the weekend and visited the Kelvingrove and he sent me these images from an exhibition currently on. Wiki. My brother isn't interested in the Civil War but is very interested in rhinos hence the photos.
