There Will Always Be An England, Part ...

Not every day does one see the Napoleonic Wars used for historical comparison.
The defence secretary, Philip Hammond, will set out how the regular Army will be cut from 102,000 troops to 82,000 by the end of the decade - its lowest level since the Napoleonic Wars.

Sky News has obtained details of the five infantry battalions that are to be scrapped as part of Government cuts.

They are 5 Scots - The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, one battalion of The Yorkshire Regiment, 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, 3rd Battalion The Mercian Regiment (The Staffords) and 2nd Battalion The Royal Welsh Regiment.

    The English still need to prove they can take the French.

    Natural enemies. The stuff w/ the Germans last century was an anomaly.
