Having given my talk numerous times I know it refers to inflicting casualties during an artillery shoot in a matter of fact fashion, but I struggle to recognise it as particularly hostile. Perhaps it was one of the other talks that I didn't hear? Maybe you could give me more details and I can look into it, although I can't promise an outcome that results in less authenticity, as portraying the realities of historical life is the whole purpose of our presentations and is one of the reasons we do so much work for museums about the country.

Mon, 23 Apr 2007 13:00:12 +0000 http://www.inatthedeepend.org/2006/08/17/festival-of-history-2/#comment-2463 [...] Yesterday we went to Wrest Park in Bedfordshire for an English Heritage thing to celebrate St. George’s Day. It was like a mini version of the Festival of History, with extra St. George. As is becoming traditional with English Heritage outings, I got us lost on the way there, but not too badly. English Heritage is all about England and tradition, and so I show us more of the lovely English countryside and road network.

We all like re-enactment things so maybe next year. Yeah we saw the piccies, it all looked good, but we were away then IIRC. We all like re-enactment things so maybe next year.
