A long one about war, so most of you should like it. At one point in a digression I express an opinion, which some people might consider a bit political of me. Perhaps I should not have done that, but my policy is to leave the mistakes in.

One minor error is that the bit about a breach wide enough for a coach and horses is *probably* about Notvik tower. It doesn't change the story significantly. A breech is a breech, and the other one was wide enough for troops to rush in through, so must have been more than a crack.
