Crikey Chuck, you know your stuff - spot-on in all accounts!
The gunnery chaps were just as you say, and the musketeers all ended-up in line and firing away - and some bit the dust.
I hope to put something else together that will show them doing their stuff.
They were actually depicting the American War of Independance, but how accurately, I have no idea. I attended the living history festival for the photo-ops, and it didn't disappoint!
Many thanks for commenting.
I hope I didn't get so carried away with gunnery that you overlooked the fact that I think the picture is "painterly," because it mimics a painting, and it is gorgeous!
I've always been a military and history nut, and I've spent many, many hours, days, weeks in museums, any museum, of anything. I've never been to a reenactment; I've just always been interested in, um, stuff. Once again, though, that's a swell picture!
