Since I'm not able to open my inbox, I cannot read my old mails. Some weeks ago one of the member of the Forum contacted me about a picture in http://www.lostbulgaria.com Unfortunately I don't remember his name. Can he contact me at webmaster@bulgarianartillery.it

Thanks,

Marco

Revised The development of the Bulgarian artillery : 1886-1911

Added some little corrections and additions to the whole section History

With these additions the section History is basically finished, even if many other detail can be added. This goal seemed impossible only six months ago. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dibo for having provided the great part of the Angelov's articles published in Артилерийски Преглед. I think that his research are insuperable unless you can study directly the Bulgarian Army archives.

Many thanks also to von Danitz for the picture he sent me: it will be published as soon as possible!
