Yorman in Linschoten

Het is de oplettende lezer natuurlijk opgevallen dat het hier gaat om Overste Jorman en de plaats is natuurlijk Winschoten.

A battle report to start the weekend with. It deals with an attack by Col. Yorman on the Bishop of Munster, who followed the enemy to a small city called Winschoten and beat them there, causing a convenient 1000 casualties and capturing ten colours and eight cavalry standards. Indeed, most captured colours were send back to Groningen, but where they were next is unfortunatly a mystery.
