RIP Tony Blackmore
My friend Tony Blackmore passed away in China on August 27, 2022. I met Tony in Ilsan, Korea back in 1997. We were good friends ever since.
I have been in contact with his family and I hope to see his memorial service before i go north.

Fort Anne Encampment 2022
After a 2 year enforced hiatus, we went back. This year my 4 days off were exactly the days for the event. I went down on Thursday and returned Sunday.
Most of these shots are mine, the first two I belive are from one of our newest members.
That moment you get asked to drum in a couple because they asked the piper to handle the ring, 
Marching to battle
Beating to assembly to repel attack
Firing at the rebels
I'm the only casually and I didn't flash or moon the audience
Marching back
King's forces March on

And the French come out on top yet again. The Crown forces will have to fall back into the fort to safety as the French have no artillery in this attack
