Both of course - to Google it in the first place you have to be aware enough of your facts to be sure there is actually a mistake in there (if all that makes sense?) - I knew the Waterloo quote and Balaclava battle, but Googled the exact dates (honest, the dates were the only thing I got from outside) - the rest is simply I am a bit of a history and Shakespeare fiend and have found it easy on this thread to pick holes... ;-)

"Up Guards and at 'em" is actually attributed to the Duke of Wellington at the battle of Waterloo (1815), and certainly not at the battle of Balaclava (1854) where took place the charge of the "Light Cavalry Brigade" - not the guards Sorry mate, not picking on you, just assisting you with historical exactitude :-) Steve _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
