Check your barrels.

Hello David,

I think it was Major Noel Corry, Steeple Bumpstead, if I remember right.
He had a vast pile of ballast he had sent home.
A good few of his barrels were still loaded to some degree. The ones I bought were not, but our good friend Rudyard came by a few that way.
He had some very nice barrels, or at least they Had been.
The Galloping Major's barrels were Very reasonably priced!

The very man indeed! I still have two of his barrels, one the aforementioned, and the other a rifled Damascus octagonal long percussion barrel.

We will never see the like of him again.
