On this date in 1775, exactly 250 yrs ago today, were fought the Battles Of Lexington and Concord with the shot heard round the world. These followed the ride of Paul Revere, and others, to warn "the regulars are coming" (not the British are coming, as we were all British at the time).

Nice one Chris !

I should think there will be a lots of commemorative collectibles of all sorts coming out soon, Coins and Stamps being the ones that immediately come to mind.

Instead of Mad King George on the throne, now there's loony King Charles !
Congratulations to your ancestors in making the break.

Thanks Steve, we owe so much to our British heritage. And maybe the collector's of ARW figs may post a dio or two in commemoration.
