Recently subbing an Entry, I linked to this Entry:

A288533

However, quite embarassingly the word Napoleonic is misspelt not only in the Entry but also the external link!

Civil War also needs capitalising (and maybe a link).

There is some other minor punctuation that probably needs a look at, the Entry could do with some more h2g2 links added too, but on a whole it is quite a nicely written little piece (it might be something I may update in future, but I kind of linke it as it is).

Matt

sp fixed ok

Link added ok

This sentence is confusing. Any ideas what it actually means, or suggestions on how better to express it?

>>>To become a fully kitted out Dragoon in an English Cavalry Regiment like the 15th (Kings) Light Dragoons (Hussars) can cost over £2,000 (GBP)

is ""15th (Kings) Light Dragoons (Hussars)"" the correct/best way to write this regiment's name?

Also, I can quite happily lose the (GBP) - it is superfluous.

Thanks smiley

During the Napoeonic era that was the correct way of writing the form, as the regiments often underwent changes when joining with other regiments and altering.

They are now known as the 15th King's Hussars, but for the purposes of the Entry it should read: 15th (King's) Light Dragoons (Hussars.

I know it looks clumsy, but that's correct.

I would suggest ot should read:

To become a fully kitted out Dragoon in an English Cavalry Regiment Re-enactment Group, like the 15th (Kings) Light Dragoons (Hussars), can cost over £2,000.

Changes made.

I like that Entry too. Rather than just update this one, perhaps a totally new one, focusing on a certain aspect of re-enactment might be possible?

I've not got time, right now, to seek out any other links, but if you think of any you'd like adding, just drop a note here and I'll come back and add them later.

No problem.

I have friends in the Sealed Knot, and may do an Entry about them.

Actually, for balance, a link to them in the text might be worthwhile:
