Hi Ian,
ReplyDeleteInteresting spread of periods for your questions! My answers:
1. Brigandine was a form of medieval armor where a material like leather or canvas had metal rectangles riveted into it. This would be worn over the upper body.
2. Koskiusko fought in both American and Polish Wars of Independence.
3. The Commonwealth Division fought in Korea in 1951.

Jerry
I am using a book called The Military Quiz Book by John Pimlott for most of the questions (indeed all of them from the last three quiz's).

Yes, I thought, I actually know one! It's a ship... Then I reread it and noticed it was brigandine. But, luckily, I actually know what that is, too! :)
