They would come as much of a surprise to this forum as they did to André Masséna
That's probably why I decided to mention them! Seeing the name of the location really rolled back the decades to my A Level European history course....
Fascinating stuff, I loved history but had to quit it at comp because of the limited options with a view to doing subjects that would allow me to make a living. Now very much of the Franklin school of thought.
"If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest"
Good to see Mr Gray on a history field trip out of term, I am sure it will pay dividends.

Not quite. I put the first 2 results up, which you may have seen, but went back to edit several minutes later. Those later results only appeared above your post because I used "edit" and not "quote". In the end, the remaining results were posted by us both at approx the same moment.
Anyway, Hev won, so that's all that really matters.
