Hi,

I only recently joined up to Wikipedia which I've found pretty addictive after discovering it. Couldn't really be bothered giving you my life's story (which some people seem to do), so I'll make it quick. My names Richard, I'm from Northern Ireland, and studied History at Queens University Belfast. I love football (support the mighty Liverpool FC), adventure sports, and of course, a nice cold pint at the weekend. Oh, and I hate chavs and bad drivers.

I recently signed up to the military history project. I've a pretty good knowledge of all periods of warfare, but would specialise more in Ancient warfare and WWII. However, I have also a good knowledge of WWI, the medieval and Napoleonic era's, Irish Regiments and their contributions to war, and warships.
