The latest copy of SOTQ (Soldiers of the Queen, the quarterly journal of the Victorian Military Society) arrived in the post a couple of days ago, and I have just read it.
The articles included in this issue are:
I particularly enjoyed Laura Kwasniewska's Bloody-Minded Pigott and John Sly's Two soldiers who never were, and thought that Ralph Weaver's The Prussian Army of 1870 was an excellent short guide to the development of the Prussian Army up until 1870. I was very intrigued by mention of Knorr's Erbswurst or Pea Sausage, which – when served with bread – could serve as a soldier's basic daily ration. I was interested to discover that it is still made and sold today ... and can be purchased online!
