Napolean

I had a chat with my sisters father-in-law who is a history buff with special interest in the Napoleonic era.

I was amazed as he enlightened me of battle field stories bewteen the British and French, being told that the Europeans would run at the sight of the British cavalry - whose horses had been trained to bite the faces off the enemy on the Battlefield.

Apparently Napolean was more a defender of French ideals than a conqueror of nations. Need to check this out.

Note to self - read book on Napolean before next family barbecue. Much more interesting than talking about sport and business.
