Congratulations, Lucas! Your first here, isn't it? Helga, sweetheart, I know we already drank everything here. But, do find something. We must drink for the breast of this fine gentleman covered with medals, stars and crosses! Or you prefer to have elefants, swords and other strange thingamajigs there?[;)] <center>  </center>

Congratulations Lt. Kling. Well done. Did I ever tell you about my first medal? Well, here, have a seat. Let me fill your glass. Now, as I recall, it was after my first battle of Waterloo. You see, after a hard day of fighting, the French cavalry were about to overrun one of our infantry squares. The men were in a bad way and they needed help. So I ordered my regiment of hussars (I commanded some Brunswickers back then) to charge. With a shout, I dug in my spurs and we were off. My horse didn't like that much and he turned and bit me on the knee but he did as I told him anyway. Well, apparently my regiment didn't hear the order because I found myself charging a French regiment of lancers all on my own. The Frenchies saw me coming and just stopped and stared. I ran right past them and over the ridge. They were totally flabbergasted. Meanwhile, the infantry had time to reform. Turns out, Wellington was watching and the next day I got my MGSM. Can you believe it? Ha! Ha! Drinks for Lt. Kling and all those who read this tale. [;)] FM Sir 'Muddy' Jones, KG 2nd Life Guards, Household Cavalry |
