Salutations to all those that chose to read this. This is a little late in coming but better late than never I suppose.
I would like to introduce myself by first saying that my name is Martyn (the 'y' is very important) and I am an Englishman, born and raised in Portsmouth, the Home of the Royal Navy.
Having said that, if my name was spelt out in initials it would be 'MAJR'...I'm only mission an 'O'.
I have one nickname and that comes from my alias on a number of internet sites. That nickname is WT which stands for White Tiger.
My interest in the War Beweteen the States came originally from a documentory in the UK about it and then from watching the movie 'Gods and Generals' and having a desire to find out whether or not what the movie showed was true.
Since that time I have continued my research, though not in any real depth thus far, and focused mainly on the Eastern Theatre and individual generals such as Lee and Stonewall.
I am a Confederate sympathisor of sorts.
I know that my knowledge on the war is very slim and in part I can blame my local librarys for not having the information I'm looking for but mostly I blame my lack of knowledge on my own lazyness and short attention span.
In terms of my own personality I will say that I can be a bit pompous at times and also stubborn and easilly irritated however I do usually attempt to crush those feelings before I post.
And as you may have noticed from this post I can be quite
longwinded.
Anyway, that's me in a nutshell.
