Re: I know that I know nothing*

You underestimate yourself, Donald. It is good to focus on what you do not know though, isn't it? A wonderful former colleague (now sort-of retired) used to greet you with 'what did you learn today'. It's a great philosophy. We learn every day ... until we learn no more!

Trouble is that I'll run out of days and will still have bucket loads more to learn, ah well!

Re: Dentures

Allan,

This sounds like so much Waterloo mythology, don't you think?

I suspect that the lie of it is demonstrated in the moving and edifying section at around 37:45 in this most interesting and surprisingly (to me) insightful, well-written and produced doco.

Allan,

Thanks heaps for the link. I added this to the list of things that I learned in the last few days. I'm slow in responding as reading it sent me down a few 'rabbit warrens'!

A most interesting blog post. There are some useful links in the comments too.

There is also the 'Waterloo Uncovered' project's website (http://www.waterloouncovered.com). There are reports for 2015 and 2016 available on there. This project was mentioned in one of the parts of the Sean Bean doco (I cannot recall which one without checking).

Re: After Waterloo again

I can see it now: "Waffen SS dentists in summer dress,1943" to tie in with the new Osprey book


Probably Kaiser miniatures already have it on their production line along with SS tank riders set number 26. They could have a veterinary set to highlight the reliance of the German army on horses compared to the mechanized Western Allies.
