| Quite a stout chap Chelmsford though he did have some alements such as never getting a round in for his men thus leading to the ammunition debacle. Communications were vital to him on campaign and after he'd drawn up a draught message he would use a Porter to deliver it. Some say he lost his bottle and that he ended up carrying the can for his mistakes. Personally I don't think he lagered his camp due to a harrowing childhood caused by being raised by evil Foster parents. As for yellow crayons JY, when you are the elite of the elite , its all you need. (At least, unlike the TSG, we can spell it.) |

| Hi Kate I have to differ on Chelmsfords parsimony, he is on record of 'sharing a bottle', I will leave you to find out with whom.  Cheers |
