Soooooo.....any other "reports" on this incident Marc, or anyone? -
Re: Injury at Neshaminy
I was the Confederate Commander at the Neshaminy Event. There was no report of this "incident" from either the medical or military chain of command at the event. I did hear that an individual was hit on the side of the face by a few particles of gun powder or cap fragments.
To the best of my knowledge, only two people required medical care during the event. One Federal solder had a problem during Saturday's tactical, and the Valley Division's Chaplain suffered a dislocated shoulder.Bill Rodman, King of Prussia, PA

Re: Injury at Neshaminy
I was at the neshaminy event and the injury was anounced to the 2nd battalion USV ncos during inspection at the sunday morning dress parade. The injury occured in either the national regiment or the Mifflin guard no specifics were said, only a cook-off occured and the individual suffered minor burns.Ryan McIntyre

Re: Injury at Neshaminy
Not for nothing, but this all seems like speculation to me. Maybe we should let it alone, even though I know how much we all enjoy watching train wrecks. I just hope no one was seriously injured, and who ever was injured gets well soon. At this point I think this thread doesn't really contribute anything to this forum. Maybe the mods should open a coffee klatch thread for this kind of gossip. Just my 2 cents.Comment

Re: Injury at Neshaminy
Got a message to look at this one from a concerned member and I feel that there are several problems with the thread.
One, it is an discussion of a "less than authentic" event on a forum where this is frowned upon.
Second, it is not based on any facts. Was the original poster even at the event? My guess is no.
Third, if there was an unfortunate accident (cookoff as one implied), does it need bantering around here.
