CSM. Mikey Webs Carries the Day

Friends of liberty, the returns are in. Between the 28th of September to the 4th of October, the soldiers of the 43c put 506 of the enemy in the dirt, and every man who stood in the line can take a share of the credit.

Top honours go to CSM. Mikey Webs of Alpha Company, with 86 to his name. The officers nodded in quiet approval, which, from them, is as good as a parade.

Close behind him came M-Sgt. Doddsy (74), S-Pvt. Spekk (56), and Sgt. Revert (50). Well fought, all of you.

S-Pvt. AndrewPinotG put the week into words in the War Journal: “Bunker Hill fort October 1st 1775 SR pvt 1st Class AndrewPinotg Gentlemen: The barbarous murders committed on our innocent brethren on Wednesday the 30th instant have made it absolutely necessary that we immediately raise a bigger army to…”

The tracker saw our colours on 5 fields this week, including 7.Fuss | Event 2, NACE | Event 2, and 38th x 43c | Friday Skirm Event.
