Great photographs!
Were you the officer in the black coat with gold trimmings, Rob, or were you just the official photographer on that occasion?

Fraid not Dave. As no other Manchester Regiment members were there, your intrepid reporter had the chance to get between the lines and get a few pictures painted which does not often occur.
Here are a couple more from earlier years which show a few more choice bits of action.
Apart from drinking and sleeping here is what I do most of:-
Sentry go.
Getting shot.
Standing behind horses hind parts.
Watching Officers make a pigs ear of the battle.
Just for good measure here are the Hanoverian Grenadiers in one of our night actions.
A good reason hot to stand in front of a musket even if it is only firing wads unless you want to get your wig singed.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
