    Well, like the 95th at Talavera I've arrived after everything's finished.

    Having said that, I might be able to add a little more a bit later.

      H, if you can shed any more light than I've been able to on the 4th Portuguese Regiment I'd love to hear from you in a PM!

        It turns out that Frau Alpensinfonie's great great uncle was Prime Minister Lloyd George.

                We can only ponder how the mighty have fallen.

                  Its generally the way when liberals play with big time politics.
                  I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                  I am not a number, I am a free man.

                    The Georges certain regarded their famous relative as being the black sheep of the family.

                      All this discussion about the unreliability of family histories reminds me of a joke related somewhere in the writings of Sigmund Freud (probably his book on jokes).

                      He-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed is out riding one day when he sees a peasant by the roadside. "I say, peasant, you look rather like me. Did your mother ever serve at the palace?" "No sir" said the peasant, "but my father did."
