We may agree or not with these answers but the Lt Gen is a REME officer with two masters degrees. She has also served in Iraq in a Light Aid Detachment with the Household Cavalry and commanded an armoured close support battalion.

@RAF_Regiment have now successfully intercepted more than 50 Iranian drones in Iraq. The slightly sensitive location is why it has taken this long to be reported. thesun.co.uk/news/38574306/…

@JenKteach Check out the battle of Winnington Bridge.
The very last battle of the civil war (1+2) (local to where I came from). Plaque still adorns the bridge. 😁

On This Day 21st March 1646 -The Battle of Stow-on-the-Wold: The last major battle of the First English Civil War
In the early hours of 21st March 1646, the final pitched battle of the First English Civil War took place near Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire. The last Royalist field army; around 2,000–3,000 exhausted troops (mostly infantry drawn from garrisons) commanded by Sir Jacob Astley, made a desperate stand on high ground north of the town. They were attacked and overwhelmed by converging Parliamentarian forces (roughly 2,500 men) led by Colonel Thomas Morgan, Sir William Brereton and Colonel John Birch.
After fierce resistance the Royalists were driven back into the streets of Stow. Fighting spilled into the market square, where around 200 were killed and many more captured. Sir Jacob Astley eventually surrendered near the ancient market cross, famously telling his captors:
“You have done your work, boys, and may go play, unless you will fall out amongst yourselves.”
Hundreds of Royalist prisoners were held overnight in St Edward’s Church before most were later released on parole. The defeat effectively ended significant Royalist field operations in the First Civil War.
The commemorative plaque on Stow-on-the-Wold’s market cross (erected by the Stow & District Civic Society) records the surrender and the events of that day. Also in St Edward’s Church a memorial slab set into the chancel floor (sometimes referred to as a grave marker) remembers Royalist Captain Hastings Keyte (or Keyt) of Ebrington, aged 23, who fell in the battle. The inscription honours him as “the most illustrious leader … officer of the King’s Worcestershire Forces who fell in the battle near Stow on 21st March 1645” (Old Style dating).
A fitting tribute to one of the young officers who died that day.
