    Also in WW1 it was the French who took it all alongside the brits, not the Americans...
    I guess in WW2 French weren't bad soldiers, only the Germans were better.
    But do not tread on La Légion!

    I dunno, I'd have to check. In the meantime, how about:
    We softened-up the Russians for them.
    The French were better at sieges having invented the word.
    The Russians never thought the French would attack so their defences were weak.
    Having shot us to bits, the Russains had no ammunition left to repel the French.
    They had what Boney would've caled a lucky general.
    They were the better team on the day.
    :rolleyes:

    Seems to me if it werent For a French man named Lafayette we would still be a colony of Great Britain. I say VIVA LA FRANCE...

    Seems to me if it werent for an Englishman named Wolfe you'd still be a colony of La France....

    I didnt know that the Americans didnt get along with the French, i thought it was an Anglo-French thing.

    Ok then what part did the 4th Chasseurs d'Afrique have in saving The Light Brigade from total annihilation?

    How many British soldiers served in the Crimea compared to France's contribution?

    Why is it still treated as if it were a British Campaign?

    .....and if you travelled to Quebec City today, you'd be hard pressed to observe many signs that the British actually won! The Plains of Abraham remains a touchy subject with the Quebecois.
    For the record, most English Canadians have issues with the French as well but after 400 years, we're pretty much used to it.

    Oh, please, how ungrateful! That was a make-work schene to provide an outlet for the excess labour produced by those overbreeding Cathlicks of yours!

    Trade you a pet hate for Spanish for your English :lol:

    At least the Spanish here had the grace to go away after a while, while yours had more staying power :D

    Shows how much you know, assuming I'm only talking about the English! I also am referring to the Colonials across the Atlantic and the Canadians! They all owe the Irish their undying admiration and respect and, and, and, oh everything really!
