Both sides seem to have been able to gather regular troops to their respective banners, and these were supplemented by volunteers from Portugal and foreign countries ... although I suspect that the latter might have 'volunteered' for financial gain or because they were out of work ex-professional soldiers.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-49921944811862930212017-01-14T21:06:24.979+00:002017-01-14T21:06:24.979+00:00Stephen Briddon,

To actually experience what other countries are like - however brief that experience might be - gives one a much better understanding than reading or seeing TV programmes about them.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-64139947478154050782017-01-14T20:26:14.090+00:002017-01-14T20:26:14.090+00:00As I have just finished teaching a unit on the ...As I have just finished teaching a unit on the 'Atlantic Revolutions' it always nags me about how exactly these fellows start one. History always glosses over the actual details. For example, where does one get an army, and are they necessary? Does one have to formally announce a rift or is it just a given? So many questions.Steve8https://www.blogger.com/profile/14084781288683778590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-27192337275804309332017-01-14T20:23:12.113+00:002017-01-14T20:23:12.113+00:00We have exactly the same philosophy.

So far they have done the U.K. twice with trips to London, York, Leeds (Tower Armories of course) and Bath. We also cruised along the western med the other year. In addition the lucky little beggars have tripped to the West Indies. Yes, travel is the ticket to say I have lived.Steve8https://www.blogger.com/profile/14084781288683778590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-49567459522248797732017-01-14T19:27:45.713+00:002017-01-14T19:27:45.713+00:00Chris Platt,

It's certainly an interesting idea ... but I'll leave that to someone else to do!<br /><br />My wife and I decided that once we were retired we would go to as many places as we could whilst we were still able to.

They often tell one a lot about a place's history.<br /><br />I think that the Azores and Madiera are well worth visiting if you can get there. Lots to see and the people are very welcoming.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-18188491651031463992017-01-14T12:19:32.894+00:002017-01-14T12:19:32.894+00:00Interesting flag history.
