Well Bill, you've only just met Barry and already noticing his Francophile biase to his postings
Remind me again, how many battalions of the French Guard did you destroy or force to retreat?

He's actually a convicted Francophile and despite being released early for good behaviour, has still had to sign the register .

Duly noted

I believe the count was one retreating never to return, the other destroyed by the combined flank charge of the Royals and Enniskillings(the fact they were then destroyed by the lancers is neither here nor there )

Mon dieu!

that's right out of order that is

When you add those to the two Middle Guard battalions I routed and forced to retire that's a lot of French guard going backwards and not a mention in Barry's report.

Why would he? In the words of Tom Jones (well known Napoleonic Karioke singer and part time trapeze artist) .. "Snot unusual"

Aren't the French always going backwards
