I surprised myself with this purchase. Autumnal sentiment I suppose.

What do the Tennessee Volunteers volunteer for?

David here’s a brief explanation of how Tennessee got the Volunteer nickname. :)

The ‘Volunteers’ name derives from the 1,500 troops from Tennessee that fought under General Andrew Jackson against the British at the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. That same Volunteer spirit carried on when the war of Texas Independence broke out in 1835.

Again, men all over the great state of Tennessee took up arms to aid the Texans in their revolution against the Mexican Army. One such man was the legendary David "Davy" Crockett, a soldier and congressman from Greene County in East Tennessee. Crockett is the personification of the Volunteer name. Like so many men who fought in that Texas campaign, Crockett paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to the cause when he was killed in The Alamo.

Nice to see that William Rodgers again Ron :) When I was young, I remember hearing snatches of conversation where my grandfather would be talking about Bill Rodgers, and other folks like Joe Tyzack and Tommy Ward. He say things like, "He's down at Tommy Ward's now." He meant that was where someone was working (for Thomas Ward & Son), but I thought all these people were relatives or something :D

Good for them :) Thanks Ron, all the old folks seemed to talk like that back then. My dad would sometimes make references to 'Hughie Neall', who rather than being some bloke down the pub, was actually Sir Hugh Neall, Chairman of James Neall & Company, the biggest small tool manufacturers in Europe at the time, and where my father worked :rolleyes:
