A gigantic armored cannon named by
the soldiers as the Humpty Dumpty,
a weapon which strategically sat high
above the battlefield on which it looked
over a siege of Colchester during the
English Civil War. It was built on the city
wall this meant the stronghold was
heavily fortified by the Royalists inside and
laid to siege by the Parliamentarians.

Intended for Humpty Dumpty a deadly
shot was fired from a Parliamentarian cannon
which succeeded in destroying a large part of
the city wall directly underneath the weapon.
This had disastrous consequences , as a single
shot fired correctly was enough for the great
cannon to fall to the ground destroying the
city’s main defence against the enemy.

All of the Royalist’s soldiers and the
brave and powerful King’s calvary
charged with their horses towards the
fallen weapon, and although they all
attempted to raise the fallen weapon, the
King’s defeated calvary and his men
found their efforts were tragically in vain.

It couldn’t be mended because
of the sheer weight of the cannon.
The soldier’s tried to put the fallen
Humpty back on to the city wall,
underneath many men had been
brutally crushed, together their
strength failed and the fallen weapon
could not be raised once again.
