Winners & Answers

Well that is comp #1 for 2014 finished and the winners are as below. I will email them for their details as per usual.

A couple of weel ken't names there so to get rid of them it will probably take more entrants in future competitions!!

The winners are - and well done to them:

• tiddlyoggy
• greyncrusty
• cutaway
• janner
• davidbetts

A bit superfluous to give the answers as we had a 100% correct response - I will obviously have to try harder and can only blame the slackness on post Festive overload!

Q1 - Cannae is in Southern Italy

Q2 - A Hastae is a Thrusting Spear

Q3 - Cannae took place during the Second Punic War

Well done to all who took part, and to those who didn't, just goes to show how easy it is!
