Any English Civil War reenactors here? If I were in the UK, I'd want to be one. An artilleryman, naturally! Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be merely a vulgar brawl.

That's interesting, SC: I knew that you needed an SCG to have a cannon, but this is odd.

Robin, I recognize what you're doing - we call it "sponging" on my 1815 crew - but do you use both wet and dry sponge?
On our crew we use a sponge-rammer: when the sponge (sheepskin side) is down the bore, the ram end (solid wood) would be outside the bore. It seems odd to me - backwards - to see someone laboring to push the implement DOWN the bore, while the sheepskin is visible.

Hi Jim
That's a double ended wool mop with a bucket of water down the bore and a thumb over the touch. Easier to push down than pull out

My family were in the Sealed Knot when I was a lad. At one time I was a powder monkey on the cannon crew
This was before they got all anal about authenticity of uniforms etc. Yes, we were "crimplene cavaliers"!

Come to New Orleans and you can join our Baratarian cannon crew. Uh, oh, you'd have to shoot redcoats, though!My family were in the Sealed Knot when I was a lad. At one time I was a powder monkey on the cannon crew
