Oliver Cromwell is re-appointed Lieutenant-General of the New
Model Army. It was established by him in the spring of 1645 to aid
the Parliamentarian cause in the English Civil War. Unlike earlier
or other contemporary armies, it was national rather than being
tied to any one locality, and was comprised of full-time
profesional soldiers.
