Hi.

I suppose I should probably say something here. Not that it'll actually tell you much about me, though.

I've created or expanded a few entries here on military trailblazers like female conquistador María Estrada and Tsarist colonel Alexandra Kudasheva, mixed-race British Army general Horace Sewell and the man who could have conquered Elizabethan England for King Philip, Martín de Bertendona.

For some reasons, I seem to have developed a speciality in Eastern Front warplanes of the Great War, like the Vickers Bullet and Farman 30, and seventeenth-century Scottish mounted units, including the Regiment of Horse and Life Guard. I should probably add Fraser's Dragoons, too, shouldn't I?

Not that I have any justification for any of that beyond an inquisitive mind, a quiet mania for source-checking, and a childhood interest in military stuff.

If you don't count some vaguely late-medieval prosopographical contributions on people like Lord Aboyne and the descendants of the 5th Earl of Bothwell, one of the few articles that's even tangentially related to the stuff I do (badly) in real life is Dunmail.

But the one I'm most proud of my work on is still Archibald Ormsby-Gore.
