[Editor's Note – Articles on the confrontation between the English and the French in India are welcome, as well as articles on naval history during the era covered by the Journal. The next issue will feature articles on Colonel Eyre Coote and the battle of Wandiwash. Those of you who are interested in the French side of the conflict are invited to send similar articles. I would love to see a biography of the Irish general Lally who commanded in India on behalf of the French.]
