ICOMAM MAGAZINE 2
« on: June 06, 2009, 07:55:36 AM »
The second issue of our Icomam MAGAZINE is online; less of interest for the cannon enthusiast, but a couple of articles about cannons made for the Portuguese service in England and some gunners' instruments.

Bob -

THANKS for posting the link!  I'm planting the garden right now, but after dark I'll take a more thorough browse through them!

There's a higher quality edition going online later in the month if you want to print it out, but I thought you would be interested to see it just now.

Thanks Bob, lots of great color pix and very good articles about cannons and other weapons.  I don't even think you could buy a book with such excellent photos of some of those priceless, elaborate weapons.  I've recommended that the other members of the Company of Military Historians have a look.  I'm sure you know CMH Fellow and officer Rene Chartrand, who is pictured in the second edition at a conference in Rio.  As we used to say "tough duty but someone's gotta do it."

I'm trying to ID a small bronze howitzer so I'll post a link to my video of it and ask your assistance shortly, in a new discussion.

Enjoyed the e-magazine, especially your wife's article, "Abroad with the Walkers - ....."
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.
