IrishGunner Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishGunner Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nah.... dont think they would bother....... True, those simple paper cards are a little pedestrian for Saxon artillery regiments to bother with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I think there were such Saxon artillery cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I think there were such Saxon artillery cards. Clearly, those are more elegant than the infantry cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 A very obvious spelling mistake, happens when an artilleryman is used as a scribe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited November 28, 2013 by IrishGunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Then why do they call the Infantry, the Queen of Battle???? We know. Because the King of Battle always does something vulgar that begins with "F" to the Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 In other words, a child, a baby, an infant. 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.
