This week Throwback Thursday revisits a now-forgotten time and location ca. 1978-80 when my friend Ed Owens and I journeyed to assist in training the crew of another friend Roy Beckett who had just built his own replica mountain howitzer and limber. Roy lived in Central Texas near and east of both New Braunfels and San Marcos and was an anesthesiologist when he wasn't reenacting or flying his plane; presumably this was somewhere in that region. Above, Sergeant Ed and Roy are riding on the limber box while I walk alongside, followed by the crew members whose names I have unfortunately forgotten; below, the crew in battery at their post positions with myself acting as gunner though I'm uniformed as an officer.
Anyone else having (preferably) old Civil War-related photos, mementoes, or memorabilia from reenactments, other activities, or events; or vacations or other travel is welcome and encouraged to share them with us in this weekly thread!
