The grizzled old British Field Marshall enters the Tavern. The long scar on the right side of his face is red and inflamed. "Well, I hear the Frogs are on again about my beloved Scots Regiments", he snarls, setting his feathered bonnett down on the table...."Here is what I say to that, Talavera, Barrosa, Fuentes d'Onoro, Salamanca, Nive, and Waterloo." :evil:

Indeed they were David. Do you not recognize the smiling face of Acting BG Dumas of the Haitian Armed Forces amongst them? :wink:

"amongst them"

Hmmmm.... Ed, I'm confused (but I'm not the only one ... I'll let you figure that one out).

"Amonst them" am I to understand that BG Dumas' smiling face is amongst the shrunken heads? I think we need an antecedent clarification. :D

Why Al, you got it. You didn't even need my clarification. :wink:
