This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed from yesterday!
This week we're looking at partakers in conflict from down the ages. The awful job of 'powder monkeys' during naval battles, female warriors of pre-modern Japan and then there's Selim II; the Sultan of the Ottoman empire who earned the interesting nickname 'the drunkard'. Plus our bonus bit for the OWAT: Full Timers this week - Tommy Atkins!.. the personification of the Great British soldier during the First World War.
Also, there's lots to get in touch with this week: anyone gone lips to teat? Have you a cooler relative than the one featured in our correspondence? Can you tell us about a job worse than being a powder monkey? Do let us know: hello@ohwhatatime.com
