Accompanying the daily Hero's game is usually a picture.......are these randomly selected or does someone chose them?
The topic for today (5th July 2019)is "U.S. Civil War" and I would suggest someone has got the wrong war! Picture depicts people in a sort of maroon uniform, firing what appears to be Matchlock Muskets.
Now I know, particularly at the start of the US Civil War, the South in particular had difficulty in arming it's troops, and many obsolete weapons were used............but not, I venture to suggest, MATCHLOCKS !
The picture probably depicts the ENGLISH Civil War of 1642-51..............ah well, its a civil war, wrong country, wrong century....but I concede.......a Civil War.
