To be fair to the French, they are not all medals, at least 1/3 are Christmas tree ornaments.

Alright, let me get this straight.................

First there are peacocks, now it seems that there are Ducks.

Every time those folks get a medal it is always for a duck.............

There is:

Duck de Calais
Duck d'Anger
Duck d'Abrante
Duck de Saalfield

and yes they even have a Grand Duck:

Grande Duc de Piave et Comte de Beauvais

I guess they are trying to get their "Ducks" in a row......................................

Why, Monsieur le Marechal, I do believe you are correct.

Line of ducks in a fairground gallery = French infantry in line. Same difference and just as easy to hit. :wink: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Monsieur le marechal Bardon...

I was wrong. It is not jealousy, it is envy I hear from the allied rabble.

Or "Dead Ducks". You know, if you shoot them at close enough range, the feathers just go everywhere! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Nope, not envy, John. The Prussian Army alone has enough medals to cast ten Grand Batteries of artillery if they chose to melt them down. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Envy, jealousy, covet. Pick whichever you like, it all amounts to the same thing.

I'd like to see this grand Prussian battery. I am sure it would be a very impressive batch of tin soldiers. :mrgreen:
