    A two-shot 100-bore percussion “turn-over” pocket pistol by “Wm & Jn Rigby” c.1835. The barrels were rotated to bring each nipple under the hammer and unscrewed from the breechblock for reloading. Cocking the hammer brought out the folding trigger.

In 1805 he took out a and those seeking home rule for Ireland—a conflict that mortgage for three hundred pounds, possibly to survive has continued to this day. Despite his militia service and while rebuilding his business. Five years further on, his position as a “loyal and good Protestant,” his daughter Rigby apparently had turned the corner, as he was felt he’d been singled out by Major Sirr because of his doing a great deal of work for Ireland’s police, postal, “consideration for Roman Catholics and love of justice and customs services, making, updating, and repairing and fair play.” thousands of pistols, blunderbusses, and carbines. The late David Marx, who owned and operated the Rigby company from 1968 to 1984, maintained that John Rigby also became gunmaker to George III, the last king of America, but the documentation is missing. Rigby’s elder son, William, born in 1787, joined the business in 1816, two years before John died. Around 1825, William invited his younger brother, John Jason Rigby, into the firm and together they too prospered. In the late summer of 1830, “Gun Manufacturers William and John Rigby” proudly announced to “the nobility, gentry and their friends in general” that they had relocated to larger premises at No.

II) By: Anton C. van Vollenhoven BA, BA (Hons), DTO, NDM, MA (UP), MA (US), DPhil (UP), Man Dip (TUT), DPhil (US) May 2014 Report no.: AE 01435V Archaetnos P.O. Box 55 Groenkloof 0027 Tel: 083 291 6104 Fax: 086 520 4173 E-mail: [email protected] Member: AC van Vollenhoven BA, BA (Hons), DTO, NDM, MA (Archaeology) [UP], MA (Culture History) [US], DPhil (Archaeology) [UP], Man Dip [TUT], DPhil (History) [US] 1 OPSOMMING Steinaecker’s Horse was ‘n vrywilligerseenheid wat tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog (1899- 1902) aan die kant van die Britte geveg het. Hulle het verskie buiteposte in die Laeveld beman en moes toesien dat die Boere nie kontak maak met goedgesinde inwoners in Mosambiek nie. Die terrein by Ngotsomond is een van verskeie wat tydens ‘n opname van terreine wat met die Steinaecker’s Horse militêre eenheid verband hou, geïdentifiseer is. Historiese inligting dui daarop dat dit niks meer as ‘n tydelike kampterrein van die eenheid was nie. Dit is bekend dat daar ook Ystertydperkbewoners in die omgewing van hierdie buitepos teenwoordig was. Die terrein is opgegrawe met die doel om meer oor Steinaecker’s Horse vas te stel, maar in die proses is sommige van die reste van die Ystertydperbewoning ook hanteer omdat dit waarskynlik saam in die argeologiese rekord voorkom. Die navorsing het voorts ten doel om die kulturele materiaal wat opgegrawe is met die materiaal, wat by ander buiteposte van die eenheid gevind is, te vergelyk.

  • The Halifax Citadel – Brief History and Early Garrison Regiments
    The Halifax Citadel – Brief History and Early Garrison Regiments Prepared for the Halifax Military Preservation Society Panel Discussion – 23 January 2019 The present citadel is the fourth fortification to be built on the site. First established in 1749, as a counterbalance to the French stronghold of Louisbourg, it played a pivotal role over the next decade in the Anglo-French rivalry in the region. Various fortifications at Halifax protected settlers against raids by the French, Acadians, and Wabanaki Confederacy (primarily the Mi'kmaq), in a conflict known to some historians as Father Le Loutre's War. This so-called ‘war’ began shortly after Edward Cornwallis arrived on June 21, 1749, to establish Halifax, with a sloop of war and 13 transports that carried 1,176 settlers and their families. The first fortress was a small redoubt with a flagstaff and wooden guardhouse, near the summit and just east of the south ravelin of the present Citadel. It was part of the western perimeter wall for the old city, which was protected by five stockaded forts. The others were Horsemans Fort, Cornwallis Fort, Fort Lutrell and Grenadier Fort. (Fort Charlotte - named after King George's wife Charlotte – was established on Georges Island the following year in 1750.) The city was guarded by five stockaded forts to protect against Mi'kmaq, Acadian, and French attacks and what is now The Citadel (Fort George) was the centre of a network that Cornwallis built and improved upon to protect settlements including Bedford (Fort Sackville) (1749), Dartmouth (1750), Lunenburg (1753) and Lawrencetown (1754). # 2 - The first major permanent fortification appeared on the Citadel’s summit during the American Revolution.

Dear Sir or Madam, In spite of the many rumours in the Press and on Television; debates in the House of Lords and in the House of Commons, this Association wishes to affirm that whatever is finally decided about the Territorial Army, the Army Volunteer Reserves and Home Defence Units, the need of this Association for Volunteers is still as great as ever it was. The Territorial Army and Army Cadet Force units within this Association’s area still require the young and the not so young, the experienced and not so experienced, to volunteer to serve with them now, and to opt for voluntary service in the Army Volunteer Reserve and Home Defence Units which are to succeed the Territorial Army.

  • 1St EAST ANGLIAN REGIMENT (Royal Norfolk & Suffolk)
    Brigadier R. H. Maxwell, C.B.. Colonel, 1 st East Anglian Regiment (Royal Norfolk and Suffolk). 14 Message from the Colonel of the Regiment During our discussion prior to amalgamation it was decided that our respective Regimental Journals — The Britannia and The Suffolk Regimental Gazette — should cease publication, and that a new Journal should be started which would record not only the activities of the Regular and Territorial Battalions, but also the news and doings of Past Members of each former Regiment. The merging of the two publications is another step in the process of amalgamation, which has been carried out so happily and successfully. In wishing The Britannia and Castle every success, I would stress that this can only be achieved by the active support of all, both by buying the Journal and contributing to its pages. A good Journal is a great Regimental asset, in that it serves to keep all Past and Present Members of The Regiment in touch, not only with the Regiment itself, but with each other. I sincerely hope that it will achieve a very wide circulation. R. H. MAXWELL, Brigadier, Colonel, The First East Anglian Regiment. 16 H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Colonel-in-Chief.

  • OPS and TACTICS: ARMORY Version 1.11 2
    1 OPS AND TACTICS: ARMORY Version 1.11 2 How to use this book This book is a supplement to the Ops and Tactics RPG system, expanding the armor and firearm selection of the base Ops and Tactics Core Rulebook. This book is to used as a reference book, expanding the selection of firearms in the game, beyond the core rulebook, as well as a learning tool, to better understand each category of firearm, their intended uses, and tactics to use and develop on. For GMs, this book can be used when building campaigns, to provide a more real-world feeling to the NPCs, providing them with believable weaponry, as well as fitting tactics. Building a Campaign When building a campaign, your first question should always be “What kind of Campaign am I making?”. This question is asked, to determine how important, if at all, will firearms be in your campaign. Should multiple guns in different calibers make an appearance, or is everyone wielding 9x19mm? If the campaign is going to be action packed, then the details and intricacies should be fitting. The campaign should focus less on the simple interactions with the NPCs, and more on the action and fights. Likewise, if the campaign is heavily focused on drama, then the roleplay aspect of this should be focused on rather than the accessories to their primary sidearms. Be sure to ask your players what kind of game they wish to participate in, and use their answers to design around that type of campaign. If you do decide to run a game that is heavy on firearms, then this book will be a valuable asset.
