A request...

The Duke of Tradgardland greets his fellow rulers and craves an indulgence from them. He is looking for a command for one of his aspiring young officers - Aeneas Von Bergmann, youngest son of the illustrious Von Bergmann currently engaged in Ecosse on God and the King's business. This is in order that the aforementioned young man may gain knowledge and understanding of the arts of war to his benefit and that of the whole Duchy. Correspondence upon this matter and offers of employment are awaited upon with urgency in the light of the gathering of the clouds of War.

If required and desired a 25mm figure will be provided to represent this young man upon the miniature field of Mars...

There is also the possibility that a young officer with sufficient scientific knowledge could find a place with the battalion of pioneers currently being raised.
