If you're out detecting Sunday 25th October please take a minute out to remember the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt.
It was an iconic battle in our history and one of the main events that got me interested in history when I was a kid.
Respect to Henry V and his Band of Brothers!
There could be an even more important victory to mark this anniversary if City beat the Reds!!

Re: Battle of Agincourt.
A lot of the longbow men came from Lancashire. That is why so many Lancashire councils still have arrows on their coats of arms. Middleton church,just North of Manchester, St.Leonards, has the oldest war memorial in the UK. Being a stained glass window to commemorate the local archers at the 'Battle of Flodden', 1513.

The battle of Agincourt ! And there has been me since the age of 12 believing that it was a fight between geriatric barristers,
being known as Aging Court. What a plonker

I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

Re: Battle of Agincourt.
My family got its family crest and coat of arms as a result of my ancester John Wodehouse (family name now Woodhouse) being knighted at Agincourt for protecting the king who was under attack. I have a signet ring with the family crest on it that has been passed down through the family. The crest is an arm holding a club.
