Enjoyed another bowl of Mac Baren's latest offering, HH Burley Flake, in an MM Country Gent with a huge mug of coffee.

Where'd you get that HH Country Gent? I looked for it and can't find it. You say it's new?

Well...after looking through the site a bit more, I discovered that the multipage listings never advance beyond page one, and the search-narrowing selections to the left side have zero effect on what is displayed. So I'm not all that confident that their "flag" that says something is in-stock is actually updated properly. I'd call them, prior to placing an order.

General Holland Smith: "Was Tarawa worth it? My answer is unqualified: No. From the very beginning the decision of the Joint Chiefs to seize Tarawa was a mistake and from their initial mistake grew the terrible drama of errors, errors of omission rather than commission, resulting in these needless casualties".

I am smoking Amphora Original Blend ,i raise my bowl for the 1.696 [US Marines and Navy] which didn't saw the sun rising next day.

In the Battle of the Göhrde at 18 September 1813 the soldiers were pined down by enemy artillery and rifles, a young drummer could accept this and without taking order by an officer in a suicidal decision rise up and start drumming the "Charge" rhythm. The soldiers stand-up and charge to the enemy without knowing that there was no official order. The young drummer against the rules follow them in the first line urging them so the soldiers took more inspiration and courage to reach the hill. Inevitably the heroic drummer drawn attention by the enemy and multiple rifles fired toward him wounding him heavily.

When the drummer carried to the hospital the doctors cutting the uniform to heal the wounds by surprise discovered that was not "he" but "she"! A young girl for patriotic reasons disguised as a man and was fighting in the Jägerbataillon. The brave drummer didn't manage to see the end of War, she past away due to the heavy wounds.

I pay my respects raising my pipe with Samuel Gawith Perfection and my cup of coffee to the memory of Eleonore Prochaska which did something beyond the duty helping the other soldiers to win the battle. God rest her soul.

Interesting post. The Napoleonic Wars represent a profound example of the wars initiated by powerful autocrats. Today, it's difficult to imagine hundreds of thousands of soldiers on either side engaging in what was essentially melee combat in a single battle. And yet throughout the Napoleonic era, that was relatively common. [e.g. Battle of Leipzig: ~92,000 killed or wounded in 4 days]
