16 The Fife and Drum April 2019

Everything you need for an elegant handwritten letter may be found in the calligraphy stores of the fort’s Canteen: quills, nibs, inks, seals, wells, manuals of instruction and even a portable desk (the original laptop). The paper and the inspiration must be yours. The officer with attitude is also available in the Canteen. Photos by Birgitte Nielsen
