Letters and Correspondence
The primary method of communication between those at sea or away with the Army at this time is by letter. Letters, tickets of absence, invitations and billets-doux may be written and posted here, in the sure knowledge they will be delivered safely by a Post Office that is the envy of the world. There may be a delay of several weeks between sending a note and receiving a reply, due to the slowness of 19th century travel, however.

The 15th Hussars
Raised at the 15th Light Dragoons, they were renamed Hussars in 1807, although some still refer to them by the old name. Their motto is Merebimur (We Shall Be Worthy) and they do their best to ensure this is true, with the spirit and dash that characterises the Light Horse regiments. Interactions specific to the 15th Hussars go here.

The 2nd Foot Guards
Also known as the Coldstream Guards, their motto is Nulli Secundus (Second to None). They are actually senior to the 1st Foot Guards, and take position on the extreme right of the line when on parade. They are known for their smartness, both in their appearance and in their drill. Action and events in the 2nd Foot Guards' part of camp may be found here.

3 Coy, 5/60th Rifles
Raised in 1797 by combining two German regiments, the 5/60th are three years older than the 95th. They have a very high ratio of Germans and German-speaking soldiers, although they do have a handful of British men. Their motto is Celer et Audax (Swift and Bold) and they do their best to live up to it, taking only the most intelligent and quick-witted men. Interactions specific to the 5/60th's camp or bivouac to go here.

Weatherdeck And Aloft
The waist is the area of the ship between the quarterdeck and the fo'c'sle. With narrow gangways to either side, the main hatch is covered by gratings which, when removed, allow access right down to the hold. The ship's boats are stored here when not in use, and the chicken coops may also be found here. Above stretch the masts and spars.

The Gundeck
For'rard of the Great Cabin runs the sweep of the gundeck. Terpsichore carries 26 12-pounder guns on this deck, although only 24 are visible unless she has cleared for action (the other two are in the Great Cabin). The Navy expects its men to train every day at firing the 'great guns', even just in dumb show. Above the gundeck are the gangways and gratings which form its ceiling and allow air to circulate.

The Messdeck
This is where the sailors and Marines eat, sleep and relax. They mess in groups of six to eat around tables slung from the deck beams. At night, they sling hammocks between the beams. Each man is allocated fourteen inches of space between himself and those to either side, although in a two-watch rotational system, this means that they get twenty-eight inches as half the men are on watch at any one time. The berthdeck or messdeck is crowded, dark and noisy. The Marines berth between the wardroom and the seamen, roughly level with the mainmast.

Orlop and Hold
The orlop, above the hold, is not a continuous deck, but has two areas, reached separately. The after platform contains the hanging magazine, bread room, spirit room and the slop (clothing) room. The fore platform has the bosun's, carpenter's and gunner's storerooms and the sail room. This is the darkest part of the ship in every day use; it is lit only by dim lanthorns which must not be left unattended. The magazine and spirit room are guarded day and night by Marine sentries.

Aboard Revenant
Revenant was a 20-gun privateer corvette designed by Robert Surcouf for commerce raiding. She was later requisitioned for service in the French Navy, and was renamed Iéna, but was subsequently captured by and served in the Royal Navy as HMS Victor. She was recaptured by the French Navy in 1809 and served under her original name.
