Further Information:
THE DRAGOONS ARE PATROLLING CARMARTHENSHIRE! The Dragoons are mounted soldiers whose long, curved swords caused lethal damage to Napoleon's armies at the Battle of Waterloo. Nothing is more terrifying that hearing their hoofs pounding through the dead of night, knowing there is no mercy for anyone who stands in their way.
But this time the 'enemy' is rather different. It is a band of farmers, craftsmen and country folk armed with axes and saws and dressed as women.
