After 17 years presenting this blog a change is necessary. The paucity of comments and the occasional weaponised comment (those pointedly ignoring the work done by the blog author, not least in wrestling with Google’s ‘improved’ interface) have lately been discouraging. Most blog entries take several hours to format and present, the preparation for sharing of colour data often longer. So I’m turning from Japanese aviation to a secondary but equally passionate interest in the history of cavalry and the British cavalry in particular.
The blog will be re-named ‘Dragoon Guards Blogminster Journal’ covering historical cavalry subjects – and especially the horses – from Roman times to WW2. I hope that it will attract an increased and more encouraging readership.
‘Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!’
