Basically our fundraising through the year has raised 80% of our needs however, we need a small kick to get us over the line for the next 12 months.
If you can spare the price of a coffee we will be set.

JACKSON RALLIES HIS MEN
Culpeper County, Virginia
August 9, 1862.
“It was the moment of crisis at the battle of Cedar Mountain. Hand-to-hand fighting sent the left wing of Stonewall Jackson's army reeling back in confusion. Jackson realized he needed to rally his men. He raised his sword, rusted it to the scabbard, grabbed a battle flag, and shouted to his men, ‘Jackson is with you; rally brave men, and press forward’!”

Pte. Ellis Silas, 16th Battalion Australian Infantry, “Indian Mule Train.”
“Drawing depicting Indian soldiers leading a mule train carrying ammunition near the beach at Gallipoli; a dead soldier lies at left foreground; crosses signifying graves can be seen on the right.
“This drawing was included in 'Crusading at ANZAC: pictured and described by Signaller Ellis Silas, A soldier-artist serving with the Australian Imperial Forces' published in 1916.
“Silas described the scene 'After the incessant roar of the firing line, it seemed comparatively quiet at this spot. It was the end of a glorious afternoon. All the landscape was tinged with the warm glow of the sun. In the distance the blue ocean sparkled like a jewel. Up the winding narrow path, with its border of sad little mounds, placidly came the Indians with ammunition mules. It seemed more like a scene in a play than one of the most tragic dramas in the world's history. But one was never left long in doubt as to the reality of it all. A buzzing, as of a huge bee - a flash of yellow flame - on the ground a mangled heap, from which slowly trickles a dull red stream. Far away across the sapphire ocean, just a few more will be waiting in vain for the return of their loved ones.'

HMS "Indefatigable" (painting by Derek G. M. Gardner , RSMA)
Indefatigable was originally a 3rd rate of 64 guns and reduced to a frigate of 44 guns in 1795. She under Pellew and another frigate Amazon took down a French 3rd rate in a storm.
HMS Indefatigable was one of the Ardent-class 64-gun third-rate ships-of-the-line designed by Sir Thomas Slade in 1761 for the Royal Navy. She was built as a ship-of-the-line, but most of her active service took place after her conversion to a 44-gun razee frigate. She had a long career under several distinguished commanders, serving throughout the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. She took some 27 prizes, alone or in company, and the Admiralty authorised the issue of four clasps to the Naval General Service Medal in 1847 to any surviving members of her crews from the respective actions. She was broken up in 1816.

1917 04 Albatros D.III by Andrzej Deredos
Greg VanWyngarden:
… depicts the Albatros of Oblt. Kurt Grasshoff, commander of Jasta 37. Grasshoff was Ernst Udet’s commander, mentor and predecessor in the command of this unit, which he led from 10 January 1917 up to 7 November 1917, when he left for Macedonia (placing Udet in command). He commanded Jasta 38 in Macedonia until he was wounded on 12 June 1918. The painting accurately portrays the black and white diagonal unit stripes on the tail of Jasta 37, as well as Grasshoff’s personal emblem of a sunburst on the fuselage. Someone did their homework; however, the “rays” of the sunburst actually had slightly wavy edges
