Salute!

As commander of the Reserve Cavalerie Corps I am pleased to announce that John Sheffield has earned promotion to the rank of Capitaine. 8)

The semaphore station reports that the Capitaine earned his field promotion upon the terrible battle map of Eylau. :shock:

Won't you join me in toasting our valiant officer for his heroic deeds! :)

Regards,

Alright, alright... :roll: :roll: :roll:

I will sit down and have a drink with you, Capitaine Sheffield, but you are going to have to forgive me if I pretend that your blue coat is actually more like that as worn by the Royal Horse Artillery, rather than the Misguided Minions of the Corsican Ape. :o :shock: :mrgreen:

Greetings General Jones. If you drink enough of this fine Jägermeister that Helga is liberally pouring you will soon have
no idea what the various uniform colors are in here, in fact, you may soon be unable to see anything at all. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmmm...yes, that is entirely possible, Capitaine Sheffield. I well remember the time I was so drunk that I rode into the middle of the French encampment, and was summarily obliged to fight my way back out. :) :D :P

And then there was the time that I awoke wearing a French cuirass and riding in the middle of the Chassuers a Cheval of Napoleon's Imperial Guard.... :shock: :shock: :shock:
