Under the headline Merc of the Month, we want to celebrate the genuine soldier, camp follower or generally wretched person. You can be a part of this too; just send us your picture of any unshaved, dirty, snogging, violent, filthy, vomiting, fighting, sleeping, drinking, mangy, low-down rawhide you feel fit in here. We will use your picture as we see fit. Please tell us your name so we can state it when publishing your pic.

The March issue comes a bit early I suppose, but don’t you just love this pair?
