	Welsh Marches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In English history, the Welsh Marches refers to the borderlands between England and Wales, and the Scottish Marches to the borderlands between England and Scotland.
		The Welsh Marches are the area that lies between the mountains of Wales itself and the river valleys of England.
		During those generations the Marches were a frontier society in every sense, and a stamp was set on the region that lasted into the time of the Industrial Revolution.

		Militant members, the stewards of huge marches that day in Glasgow and London were appalled at what they saw as the degeneration of the massive London march, and the media's spotlight on the battle in the square at the expense of news featuring 100,000 demonstrating in London and 20,000 in Glasgow.
		Militant Labour elsewhere took longer to make an impact, which in Scotland, especially clydeside, was helped by Tommy Sheridan's second place to Labour in the Parliamentary Election of 1992, closely followed by his and another victory in the Pollok ward in the District Elections of the same year.
		Sheridan and Steve Nally, the Militant London activist who was the Secretary of 'the Fed.' were instructed by the Militant leadership, then led by Peter Taffe and the ailing Ted Grant that the riot was a 'godsend' to the Tories and would 'alienate' activists from the anti poll tax movement.

		King George VI came down to inspect the troops of the Toronto Scottish Regiment on Queen's Avenue, Aldershot, in 1940, just one of the 90 evocative photographs in Mark Maclay's 300 page book.
		As it dawned on everyone that there would be no quick invasion of Europe, the Canadians set to for some serious training: small arm drills, lectures, route marches and mock battles, advancing up the Long Valley where the Light Brigade had galloped in the years after Balaclava.
		Soon a host of famous Canadian regiments were marching round the old parade grounds: men of the Seaforth Highlanders in Albuhera Barracks and the Royal Canadian Regiment in Barrosa Barracks, filling quarters vacated by the British 1st and 2nd Divisions which had left for France and the British Expeditionary Force.

	Amazon.ca: Books: The Steel Bonnets: The Story of the Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers
		Part 5 describes this monarch's brutal suppression of both the violence and raider families of the Marches during the first decade of the 17th century, an effort that finally brought peace to the region.
		The author's catalog of depredations, based on research of contemporary records, includes murder, arson, blackmail, kidnapping, rustling, racketeering, feuding, plunder, and banditry - all made infinitely worse by the indifference and/or cynical scheming of the English and Scottish central governments which tolerated the not-infrequent participation in the mayhem by the Wardens themselves.
		In this wonderful look at a dark and fascinating period in Anglo-Scottish history, Fraser brings the same quirky attitude and deep appreciation of man's inherent rascality that make the "Flashman" books and his novel "Mr American" (q.v.) so iminently readable to the explication of the complex and violent history of the Border reivers.
