That's a good point.
So here we are now, just a month after the Battle of Mons, and I'm going to give you straight up what we understand, what we know factually, rather than baiting you into the idea of what's real, what's not.
So here's the story.
On September 29th, 1914, a Welsh author named Arthur Macken published a short story titled The Bowman.
In the Evening News, which was a London newspaper at the time, he set his story during a retreat from the Battle of Mons.
So a very specific choice to pick a very real event.
In his work, he wrote that English soldiers called upon St.
George for help as they were being attacked.
This is where I give you an illustration, an image of what this scene might have looked like based on the description of this story.
So I'll let you kind of open that up and you'll see the bowman that I'm talking about, but I'll let you describe the scene you see.
yeah whoa now look at what they're wearing how i don't know what those hats are called yeah they look like there's uh safari hats yeah kind of like you know the hunter and jumanji oh i was just gonna say it yeah yeah you were reading my brain we're making such terrible metaphor comparisons here millennials are like i get all this yeah yeah we're a show for millennials and moms
Listen, that's kind of what I'm seeing.
We'll describe those outfits a little bit much more specifically, actually, and where they come from.
This is like old British.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Pretty much right on the head of the nail there.
So this is a visual as like the story unfolds.
This is what kind of the visual was made for.
