I love the soldiers arriving with whole families in cars! Your photography has improved about 500% (like hopefully mine has too) since these years! xxxJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666316882168582862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-75759843538801035242008-08-15T00:14:00.000+02:002008-08-15T00:14:00.000+02:00O!

Gattina, this is wonderful I cannot wait to show my husband when he gets home tonight.<BR/><BR/>You see my Husband has traced his huge family (when he started he knew only a hand full) back to St Helena were Napoleon was taken and while some say they have "the rosebud" in their family we now know that he was often entertained by my husbands family and that one young woman in their home in particular was a companion to Nepoleon day and night. He mentions her in his writings. She was taken to London by her mother and some months passed when a relative came to find her and took her back to St Helena and married her (cousins we think)as our history is told. My husband has always loved anything Napoleon related but we never knew this battle was played out like this until I came back to read more of your great blog.<BR/><BR/>My husband is well into the book "Napoleon and Doctor Verling on St Helena" at the moment, so you see how thrilled he will be to see your post.<BR/><BR/>I am thrilled!!<BR/><BR/>I was also pleased about your comments on my post and could not agree more,thank you.Pear tree cottage!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10056634124523395270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-14128763754112117842008-06-27T16:14:00.000+02:002008-06-27T16:14:00.000+02:00Very interesting.

I had, a lond time ago, worked with a man whose passion was to wear a costume and to go all over Europe as a Napoleonic soldier during his free time. The costume are so perferct, his wife was wearing a gorgeous dress too. It seemed a funny game !<BR/>How this little man (Napoléon) succeeded to make even his defeat so famous!<BR/>Thanks for all the pictures, the video, the slide, that's a great work.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916324312194538199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-45470587517005927462008-06-22T22:00:00.001+02:002008-06-22T22:00:00.001+02:00Interesting post!
