Cartophile – n. One who greatly admires and enjoys maps.

The next time you find yourself lost on a lonely hillside with only a map and a compass between you and missing the next episode of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ or standing in the rain checking your A-Z to find the nearest tube station consider this - virtually every map in this country owes its existence to 2 military engineers, 10 men from the 12^th Regiment of Foot - and a straight line paced out on Hounslow Heath.

The Disgraceful Affair at Hounslow

You sons of Great Britain attention pray 
     give unto me for a while, 
Let us hope that on every brave soldier 
     dame fortune in future will smile;

     has excitement great caused afar,
The death of John White, the brave soldier, 
     of Her Majesty's 7th Hussars.
