Disembarking from the amphibious and entering Fort Elizabeth, Wilson confidently explained to me that it is called Fort Elizabeth because Mr Prince Philip gave it to Queen Elizabeth for her birthday when she was 100.
We soon came across a man dressed as a soldier from the 1850s demonstrating how to use a bayonet and fire a musket.
Wilson felt a bit poorly during the bayonetting demonstration, then during a talk by a blood-spattered 'surgeon' about battle-field operations (mostly amputations) he had to be helped outside and given a glass of water.
Although it's well paid, I think he should cross Surgeon off his list of possible careers!
