NEXT MONTH – APRIL 2021 ISSUE
We’re going back in time to the largest battle of the First English Civil War, in 1644, with the Battle of Marston Moor. The Parliamentarians had been besieging Royalist forces in York but when Prince Rupert of the Rhine arrived with a relieving force, the scene was set for a pitched battle on Marston Moor, a large meadow west of York itself. The outcome of the battle decided the balance of power in northern England and cost one side the route to Europe through the northern ports.
Also in the April issue we are taking a look the infamous SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, the next part of Ed Hallett’s series on British Army webbing, the story of WWI artist Bruce Bairnsfather after the war, the organisation of the Duke of Wellington’s heavy cavalry, how a VC was won by a Shropshire regiment, collecting WWI-era grenades, we’re taking a look at the Belgian Vigneron SMG, English Civil War arms and armour, and the final madcap secret Nazi project from WWII.
