Did you know that Jim has gone on record as being the worlds first professional museum evictee?
-
Did he try to steal Napoleon's tent? :whistle:

Aha! Not quite - listen out for the next 'Mentioned in Dispatches' and all will be revealed!....<cue spooky music>

I'm guessing because they don't let veterans of said battles in the museum? :2funny:

The tagline at the top kinda caught my attention:
These stones mark 200 years of friendship between Britain and France following the Napoleonic Wars.
"Friendship" seems like a rather...strong word to use in this instance. On the other hand, it's a lot shorter/simpler than "not actively trying to tear each other's throats out". :D

Mon dieu, mes amis.
Merde!

You know, I thought of Jim when I was in Geiranger, Norway a couple of weeks ago. I came across this monument to the people who lost their lives in the Napoleonic Wars (and WWII).

I also thought of Bob when I was in Heathrow airport and bought these:

...an imperfectly-shaped quadrangle of four modestly-sized villages, namely Grossgoerschen (southeast corner), Kleingoerschen (northeast corner), Rahna (southwest corner), and Kaja (northwest corner).
I love European place names. It's fun to make up little stories about them. In this case, Grossgoerschen fast-talking his brother, Kleingoerschen into double-dating with the stewardess twins, Rahna and Kaja.
This is funny.
???
Plus, that's my line.

Located about 2.1 km (1.3 Freedom Units) south of Grossgoerschen

Travels in Europe ~ Leipzig & The East, Part 3
The Battle of Bautzen is now at the top of my list of Napoleonic battles that no one studies and everyone should.
Here is some preliminary reading on today’s topic {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bautzen_(1813)}. There will be a quiz.
A QUIZ?!?
