@wittmann:

Don’t worry Worsham. You are very passionate about the subject and I am still learning.
Sorry I did not check and discreetly tell you by PM.
Hope you are having a good weekend. The 4th tomorrow….

Thank you for the kind words.

@ABWorsham:

Spain was known as Napoleon’s bleeding ulcer.

Ulster was known as England’s bleeding pain.

The snow destroyed Le Grande Armee, not fighting Russians.

However, Kutuzov did somewhat lure Napoleon into Russia knowing about the reality of Russian winters.

Thank you fro the answer. I thought it might have been a little closer.
Hope things are working out for you over there.

I believe the number to be in excess of 100.
Which is extraordinary  for a one eyed, one armed old man from Norfolk.

I have been on this forum for 6 months and I cannot remember this  high number. Anyone have any idea if I am right or when there were last 150 or 200?
