Guys & Girls,

I attach an interesting piece from the 'Daily Mail' in regards to a major archaelogical find on the battelfield.

Basically they have found fragments of bronze gun barrel, this apparently shows where modern warfare started.

Very interesting. Especially that the gun they found blew up during the battle.

Excellent post!! That got me reading on war of the roses all night.

Incredible, 1% population loss in 1 battle...

Under the portraits it says that Henry was victorious, but actually Edward won. (It also says Kind instead of King.)

Wikipedia also goofed, since it says 0.1% instead of 1%, which would mean that England had 28 000 000 people at the time, which it most certainly didn't.
