As promised, I've got another true........
My husband & his reenacting bunch will sometimes split into 2 groups, or have 1 person to volunteer to be the "enemy" and will play @ night honing their battle skills for the reenactments. It is kind of like playing hide & seek in the dark, so that what I've always told my son when he was little, one particluar night @ the Perryville Battlefiled, not during the Perryville days, but as a seperate training excercise, the men were doing this one night that "Barry" and my husband had teamed up with some of the other guys to seek the "enemy" my husband & his group seperated into smaller groups, of which "Barry" was supposed to be part of my husbands smaller attachment. Barry got seperated in a "gun fight" that insued when they met up with the other side, so my husband thought he was with them, he started taking to Barry, & realized that Barry was gone, but the whole group was so far from everyone else that a few whispers wouldn't be heard, so my husband whisper called for Barry, a couple of times, until some one answered "I'm here, what is the next move, Major" the group looked around to find where the voice had came from Barry, & saw nothing, which didn't worry them @ the time b/c it was pitch black + a little foggy, so they went along to finish their game in finding the enemy, giving orders & all to Barry which were carried out to the letter, only to find out the "Barry" had been captured by the other side 5 minutes after the thing had started.
