[Chris Boonzaier]

Just got the 101 Card, so I have for both Regiments for my wifes Great Grand father,,, here with his EKs....

Nice. Are you going to frame/hang this set?

I wonder if those series of Saxon regimental cards include artillery regiments; haven't seen those before.

True, those simple paper cards are a little pedestrian for Saxon artillery regiments to bother with...

[Chip]

I think there were such Saxon artillery cards.

[IrishGunner]

I think there were such Saxon artillery cards.

Clearly, those are more elegant than the infantry cards.

[Chip]

I'd have to agree with you in this case.

The Infantry ones are more manly.......

The Infantry ones are more manly.......

Then why do they call the Infantry, the Queen of Battle???? ;)

[Chris Boonzaier]

A very obvious spelling mistake, happens when an artilleryman is used as a scribe....

[IrishGunner]

Origin of the word "infantry": Middle French & Old Italian; Middle French infanterie, from Old Italian infanteria, from infante boy, foot soldier, from Latin infant-, infans First Known Use: 1579.

In other words, a child, a baby, an infant.

We know. Because the King of Battle always does something vulgar that begins with "F" to the Queen.

i.e. young, dynamic and their future ahead of them....

Unlike Artillery, old afrikaans mixing the wort Fart with an Zulu word for "of lesser value"

And crapping in their pants...

Middle English artillerie, from Anglo-French, from artiller to equip, arm, alteration of Old French atillier, from Vulgar Latin *apticulare, from Latin aptare to don, prepare, fit

In other words, adept at using their weapons, causing the infants to yet once again.... crap in their pants.

I was told many battles ago, it's the Queen who tells the King where to place his steel balls.

Ahhh, Good Times.

By the way, this thread has wondered way off from your original post. My sincere and greatest respects to your wife's Great Grandfather. Great that you finally snagged the 101 card.
