Just a couple things I wanted to say. First off thank you for the arrival of the magazine I had ordered up. Got the email that the issue in question was put in the mail 20Oct and it arrived 24Oct so thank you very kindly.
On a material note good job on the Russian stuff. Glad to see some of the histories and even some of the battlefield situations that they had complete with "what do you do next?" I was much intrigued with the situation described where one Colonel (later General) Katukhov was faced with where and how to best delay the arrival of the Germans in his area in October of 1941. Keep up the good work there. Now that the curtain is down it’s a lot of fun to get a good look at what happened in their end of Europe 60 years ago.
One history note inspired by this month’s situation with Forrest at Brice’s Crossroads. This might sound like a foolish question but I was wondering if he ever walked with any kind of a limp after the war. I read of one battle he had fought with Minnesota troops someplace where he took a round in the foot before it was all over. So I’d always wondered ever since that time. I’d be grateful for any answers or leads you can give on that one.

Likewise, I invite you to post your message about Forrest on our forums as well, as I would wager an answer would appear in a few short hours!
