A walk around Edwardian Halifax - North American Campaign retrospective

 The main effort of this season has been the naval campaign set in 190? Halifax, Nova Scotia - with the new Canadian Naval Service taking on the Great White Fleet of Teddy Roosevelt.

I was fortunate to spend a couple of days in Halifax, and here are a few images of the campaign setting - 1:1 scale.

It was a remarkably warm welcome from our Canadian hosts, and it a great and historic maritime city.


First, the Citadel - and the Armstrong cannon, and barrack room




Then to Government House





including Sir Garnet's dispatch box - a lovely find


Echoes of the Army, Navy and the Church





And conflicts past, 1812, Crimea and the Great Explosion of 1917











Finally, on departure, a reminder of the first flight - and a very FLW flying machine.
