My Purpose

Combining my interest in military history and my passion for field walking. This web site is a fairly arbitrary collection of photos and stories from various battlefield walks undertaken in the company of a small group of like-minded friends. I write this stuff for my personal enjoyment and, if others are interested, then that's a bonus.
