I'd love that I don't see it having wider appeal.

According to Richard Coe, who wrote an account of his service under Captain Christopher Gore, the Tower Hamlets' advance guard stood to all night to the rear of the bridge and hung lit match from pallisadoes a musket shot from their position to conceal their dispositions. When the Royalist pickets fired on them during the night, the Hamlets musketeers (armed with doglocks, which needed no match) fired back from their true position beneath a hedgerow.
