The Charge of the US Dragoons at the Battle of Crysler's Farm. Nov 11th, 1813.
The Dragoons dramatically charged the advancing British line. Though unsuccessful, they saved the artillery from being overrun. One officer believed it was their "highest honor" in the War of 1812.

Side entrance to the Cathedral of Cartagena in Colombia. This grand building was constructed in the late 16th century and was famously shelled by Sir Francis Drake in 1586 to exact ransom money from the city's population. #history #militaryhistory

🍁Ottawa forecast tonight -20°C with windchill.
Winter is coming?
Winter came... saw... and conquered.
Could be worse. You could be in Napoleon's Army in 1812.

Corfu town (Kerkyra, Greece) viewed from the lower level of the new fort looking towards the old fortress. The buildings in the old city are primarily 18th century Venetian. The Venetians ruled the island for over 400 years. Walking the streets does feel like parts of Venice w/o the canals.
