Who When Where

As I recollect from Sunday School, many years ago, a Baptism service is pretty much set up to do multiple baptisms in one service. The intro and outro are addressed to the whole congregation, but then there is (in programming terms) a loop for each child which starts with the priest saying to the (g...

Just in case you have a relative in the British Army during the French Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars, there's a raft of useful bits of financial information such as rates of pay, prices of commissions, etc, on https://www.napoleon-series.org/researc ... c_pay.html
