@FossBang @abarnes_95th @ZwhiteHistory As unpopular as conscription was in France.

@GaryPet53745764 @abarnes_95th @ZwhiteHistory Like Major Ferguson's Riflemen?

British Infantry lying down in place on the reverse slope of the Mont St. Jean ridge to avoid some of the worst effects of direct French artillery fire at the Battle of Waterloo.

The 95th Rifles in Square at Fuentes de Onoro.

At Fuentes the Light Division rescued units cut off by French cavalry, Wellington was closest to a defeat here than any other day I believe.

The Light Div retired in good order, in & out of square 📯

Lesson to be learnt here from building your home out of your enemy:

Easter Rabbits 🐰

My favourite Napoleon story of his career*

When hunting rabbits in an orchestred shoot, the tame rabbits were released & attacked the French General knocking him over.

There are no chocolate egg stories but bunnies...

Fought #OnThisDay in the early hours of 14 April 1814, the Sortie from Bayonne.

General Thouvenot, Governor of Bayonne, commanded the French troops carried out the attack.

French deserters gave warnings, but the allies were unprepared.

Eventually the sortie was repelled.

As the British march on their way to Washington, D.C. in August 1814, they see a glint in the wood.

Two American militiamen who claimed they were squirrel hunting.

They had no excuse when the British asked why they were hunting squirrels with bayonets!
