Oh wow! These women need so much more written about them.

They really do don't they? It sounds like an incredible story. They deserve to be better remembered by history.

That's a truly fascinating story. And I wish I had money to actually bid on some of the items in the Charles Miller catalogue, but alas.

It's an amazing story isn't it? And yes, Charles Millers catalogues are a terrible temptation! Probably just as well everything is well out of my range :}

OMG. I think I know where I'm putting my naval lieutenant for part of the next novel, because this has GOT to be in there!

Hehe! Go for it! I think we're going to be hearing a lot more about the Company of St Barbara from all over the place :)
