Link of the Day: Neat site on being an 18thC British Soldier

Good day,

I was recently alerted this really interesting and amusing site about life as a British Soldier in the 18th century. It's easy reading, entertaining, and there is a lot more than meets the eye. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
