Aah so it may have received use against those damned 'idle' striking Welsh miners.

Reminds me of a joke.

A Russian Count was visiting the English countryside in the days before the Russian Revolution. He was invited to a spot of rough shooting by the local Lord as there were no driven shoots scheduled during his visit. While out shooting the English Lord suggested they split up and the Count take a couple of beaters one direction while he and the gamekeeper went another. Some time later they met up and the Russian count was alone. The English Lord having shot a jolly good number of game, including grouse, rabbit, hare, woodcock and his favourite pheasants. He politely asked the Count how he had done. "Just a couple of peasants" he replied. The English Lord corrected him, "You mean pheasants, old chap." To which the Count replied, "Nyet, I mean peasants. The lazy bastards wouldn't fetch my birds, but I got them with a quick right and left with my Woodward."
