Mark! It's a good thing we are tapping your phone line.

Cliff was in charge of SEAL Team Cirque du Soleil !

Major Amos,
Any tidings upon your battle with General Sands?
The semaphore station eagerly awaits the final tally of your epic battle against so many opponents at one time.
Regards,

Not yet. I was offline for a couple of weeks, and Ernie had (is having) a knee replaced.

My sincere thoughts and prayers for General Sands. A fine man and one of my very first opponents.

It so odd when I found that on the net. Oh by the by how did you know that I use to work at NSA in Maryland?????

I can just see it now 66 year ole colored man leads the seal team, Oh his depends got wet he has to return to the ship!

Name the British General who was in Hanoverian service also was in the Hesse –Cassel service 1798. Prussian Cav officer 1806.

Colonel Dumas, salute.
Was it General John Gaspard Le Marchant. He seemed to have gotten around a fair bit during the wars of this period. Designed a cavalry sword, I believe, as well as taking part in a fierce struggle that saw the defeat of Gen. LaSalle...
Regards,

Nay, it wasn't and here's a bonus question what color was the uniform of the Leger's Po???

He also led a unsuccessful rebellion against King Jerome of Westphalia 1809. Volunteered with Russian Army 1812-1813,! He's not Mark Jones

Colonel Dumas, salute!
Ach well, on my wrong answer above.
Regarding the uniform of my illustrious battalion, I've only ever seen them depicted in a legere style, green with red facings.
My men and I, being akin to rangers, are often found sneaking thru woods upon unsuspecting enemy artillery positions, and therefore wear our uni's out when on campaign, quite faster than the standard ligne formations. Thus, we wear what we can find as the struggle goes on.

Leger de Po, a long way off from a dragoon

It seems to me that the prodigious, yellow plume on the shako would entirely spoil any attempt at a stealthy approach. Typically showy in the French style, but far less practical than the cap of a Hanoverian Feld Jager.

And my dear Colonel Dumas, you forget, I was a Westphalian officer in 1812, so of course it could not have been I who served in the Russian Army.

Yes, but it is how we dressed in those days, wasn't it? And, I find the figure rather imposing.

Colonel Dumas, that is Legere and Dragoons!
We work together, protecting the flanks and acting as the advance guard, good sir.

Monsieur your picture is that of the 7,8,9th Dragoons
