I remember reading about this probably 45 plus years ago in some kind of fan book on the band or magazine article and it always stuck in my mind. Would also like to know more about it too.
Thanks for the pic Cristiano, where'd u get it?

Thanks for all the above posts.
Would be great to know what's in the collection.
I've always thought it odd an Englishman being obsessed with
The American Civil War.
Wouldn't mind knowing what's Keith's got re: WWII as well.

I believe that's illegal in the UK now, isn't it? I know some friends of mine inherited some Nazi memorabilia and were concerned about how to dispose of it legally. Or maybe it's just illegal to buy/sell it?

Oh, you'd be amazed. There is a whole group of Englishmen obsessed with the Indian Wars, particularly the Battle of the Little Big Horn -- Custer, Sitting Bull and all that. That occurred about 3 miles from where I work. There is a Englishman named Francis Taunton who published a book titled Custer's Field : "a scene of sickening ghastly horror" who is from England. In fact, there is a whole group called The English Westerners' Society and another called the Custer Association of Great Britain. Some of these people show up at the Battlefield every June on the anniversary of the battle.
Now, as for German interest in the Indians and the West, that is a whole other topic. Suffice it to say that the Germans are the most Indian-obsessed people on earth outside America. Maybe more later.

As "industrial/mechanised war" as it was, during the U.S. civil war more people died from disease than combat. No antibiotics
Thinking about all that slow death is pretty horrifying to me. As a kid I went on some trips with groups to walk the battlefields and it still makes me very sad to think of stories...
All that gusto and planning and then.... they attack each other with inaccurate, slow moving, more flesh tearing projectiles which often did not kill, only severely wounded... and the wounds festered... and weeks/months after the battles 1000 and 1000s of dead and dying men from both sides lay there in the mud... as the battles moved on to other areas with the same result.
