Thank you Martinus. I found the sites and seem to have found the info I was looking for; 1861 (it's actually dated) Enfield rifle from the basic 1853 three...
Hi all, Well, I've just finished my third Hornblower omnibus - that's a total of 10 Hornblower adventures, and I must re-iterate what I originally said, that...
Glad that you've enjoyed the Hornblower series, Marg! And a hearty 'AMEN!' to your assessment of Forester's enjoyable and accessible writing style! :) There...
Hi all, This is wildly off topic and I apologize in advance for that, but I'm excited so I thought I'd share it with the group, as I know there are many former...
hi Paul, I read your message on your deployment and know how uncertain an overseas deployment can make you, especially if you have a family to move as well. ...
I don't know much about any of our bases in Germany, except that my uncle served there in the 70's. But I would like to say thank you for your service to our...
Hi Paul! Welcome to Germany! I have never stayed in Bamberg, but as far as I know it is a very romantic "old world" place, with beautiful sorroundings. A...

I'm a long time Hornblower,Ramage,Kent etc. fan and just found this site. Would someone please tell me if there are archives of topics or questions I can check...
Ardent Hornblower fan here, just finished "Beat to Quarters" (aka "Happy Return")and can't wait to start the next book in the series. I'm an avid reader of...
Welcome, Pip! I'm afraid I don't have enough of a handle on Yahoo groups to do much more than suggest you scan the messages section. Looking forward to seeing...
Welcome, Pip. I'm not sure what you're looking for, but there are things under both the 'files' heading and also under 'links' which have information about...

You might have your answer in your own question. If I remember correctly, the only individual in the novels to describe Hornblower's physical characteristics...

Robert Fox has suggested to me a new thought. His words: "One thing that does surface momentarily is Hornblower's need for a mother figure in his life (I could...
To return from HH to CSF. CSF had good-enough looks, and in a rather dark and romantic way that some might think of as Spanish. But I am sure that he...
