    NB. According to various people I knew in my childhood; there has already 'been and gone': a so - called 'Ninth Battle of ARMAGEDDON'. This was apparently fought on the 'Plain of Megido' in the then OTTOMAN EMPIRE; sometime around 1917/18: during the so - called 'Great War'. It included a 'cavalry CHARGE' against a Battery of 'TURKISH Guns' by the 'Warwickshire Light Yeomanry'; as seen in a later painting published as a colour print in the 1970's magazine WAR MONTHLY. As to whether my late; 'Great Uncle': Norman Pepper was really involved is a moot point but we were told as children (my sister and I) that he was a Subltern in the ACTION and that was the end of the matter. As in; NO MORE QUESTIONS PLEASE... He was later a Headmaster in the County of Yorkshire where historically the Pepper's were reputed to have held the GATE at Pickering for the WARWICKS. Does anyone know the real story or is HISTORY; as far as 'the good book' is concerned: already over?
