Wasn't the Americans either, it was a bunch of immigrants Slightly embarrassingly, weren't the French involved too?!   Would never have happened if we'd sent Welsh Guards...!  On that note, I'm off home! ;D |

(you know the story about Napoleon's troops I take it?!) Would this be the 20 Welsh women in red cloaks? Aye, close enough! The story is that the traditional Welsh female dress was a bright red dress with a tall black hat. The French troops had sailed in from a base in Ireland planning to invade via Wales, thinking there'd be no armies based there. They saw the women from a distance and thought they were redcoats, and fled - while talking animatedly about the prescience of British commanders! Of course, as we all know, the reality was the French are cheese-eating surrender monkeys, who could not fight those tough Welsh women! ;D |
