A bit of an inside joke, but going with Aksel for the hound's name.

Thanks for the input all. :) Maj Gerard St George, instructor at RMC in Buckinghamshire, reporting for duty.

Irish Wolfhound. Felt appropriate.

So therefore, is it possible for an Irish Catholic officer to be an instructor at the RMC?

Thanks for the information. May have to go with non-Catholic then, as Military service (Non-Naval) is kinda key to the concept thus far.

A follow up. Could a Catholic officer be an instructor at the RMC at the time?

So I fully admit to having little knowledge of actual history of the time period, so forgive the use of wiki here for information. So the game-on timeline starts in 1811. The Irish Parliament was dissolved in 1801 with the Acts of Union that made Ireland a part of Great Britain. However, Catholics would not be able to sit in British Parliament until Catholic Emancipation in 1829. Given the changes to religious strife in the setting, was this event earlier, or has it yet to occur?
