Default The Siege of St Augustine 1740

On Saturday after the match, the SGM and I went to the Castillo di San Marco to survey the scene of the real Siege of St Augustine in 1740

The Siege of St. Augustine was a military engagement that took place during June - July 1740. It was a part of the much larger conflict known as the War of Jenkins' Ear, between Great Britain and Spain.

it was very interesting and highly recommended by both the SGM and me.

The SGM and yours truly.
