#33 Conflict (Part 1)

This week we're looking at partakers in conflict from down the ages. The awful job of 'powder monkeys' during naval battles, female warriors of pre-modern Japan and then there's Selim II; the Sultan of the Ottoman empire who earned the interesting nickname 'the drunkard'. Plus our bonus bit for the OWAT: Full Timers this week - Tommy Atkins!.. the personification of the Great British soldier during the First World War.Also, there's lots to get in touch with this week: anyone gone lips to teat? Have you a cooler relative than the one featured in our correspondence? Can you tell us about a job worse than being a powder monkey?
