Yorktown anniversary

As tomorrow is the anniversary of the start of the siege of Yorktown which took place in 1781 and ended the American Revolution, why not watch this clip of some of the more desperate fighting which happened during October. I don't know how many people who read this blog are interested in 18th century warfare but I live in hope. Maybe you will all want to buy a flintlock musket and have an urge to cook over an open flame. Who knows? If I was rich I would go over to take part in the 225th anniversary battle on the Franco American side of course, but never mind, we can read the participant guidelines. March to Yorktown article
