I saw your comments on Waterloo. That is one of my old favourites. Forked out quite a few dollars on the 'Waterloo Companion' a couple of years back. Have you ever read the 'Waterloo Letters'? Please excuse me but I'm going off the cuff in my local library, but it was compiled by the officer commissioned to make the diorama of the battle in the mid 1880's and he secured letters from many many surviving officers. It presents a very non jingoistic picture.

Quiz question: who wrote "Never did an army with guns use their legs so much!" and what action did it refer to?

Cheers Russ
