 Orphan , It has been a year since I saw the pictures and apparently didn't save them.  Actually my laptop crashed and burned with the pictures on it .  The uniforms I loved the best were Austro Hungarian Hussars.  My friend that sent the pictures got them from a friend of hers who lives in Europe and took part in the battle .  He told her how much some of the uniforms cost.  It was a fortune.  Plus then all the equipment and the horse for many of the soldiers . 

Your story about the exchange student reminds me when I took my young friend to Renaissance Faire .  We went to the Joust of course.  The evil knight cheated and hit the brave knight a sucker punch actually.  Amanda was so made .  She yelled NO FAIR.  She was almost ready to climb down and get the guy.  I told her just to wait and see how it comes out .  I was laughing to myself as I had seen the same joust the week end before and it went exactly the same way
