Charles Kightly The Customs and Ceremonies of Britain
Picked this up today. Kightly was once Lord General of the Roundhead Association. The book has a photo of the King's Army in 1985. Note musket rest.

50 years ago this month. The early ECWS as it was to become. This is quite the historical artefact capturing the Roundhead Association and King's Army at their numerically largest size.

Hochkirch 1758
Today's anniversary.
The Battle of Hochkirch took place on 14 October 1758, during the Third Silesian War (part of the Seven Years' War). After several weeks of maneuvering for position, an Austrian army of 80,000 commanded by Lieutenant Field Marshal Leopold Josef Graf Daun surprised the Prussian army of 30,000–36,000 commanded by Frederick the Great. The Austrian army overwhelmed the Prussians and forced a general retreat. The battle took place in and around the village of Hochkirch, 9 kilometers (6 mi) east of Bautzen, Saxony.
