Milhist assessment[edit]

Still a start I think, but very close to a B. The WP:LEAD needs expanding; it needs to completely summarise the whole article. Other than that, looking good. It is a bit short though? Any areas for expansion? Regards. Woody (talk) 22:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

here is the lyrics to the Ballad[edit]

Ballad of the 15th Hussars

As we lay in our quarters Which you quickly shall hear; Lord Pagent came to us and Did us prepare Come saddle your horses For we must ride soon For the French are now lying In the town of Sahagún So we saddled our horses And away we did go Over rivers of ice And o’re mountains of snow To the town of Sahagún A Course we did steer For the 15th hussars my brave boys never fear

They formed themselves up and the play it began Thinking to his mind my brave Englishman But with glittering broad swords upon them we flew They’d whipped their reigns round and away they did go

Amid the snow and the vineyards many Frenchmen lay dead Three hundred were taken the rest of them fled Their general likewise we took to the field Twas the 15th Hussars who made the Frenchman to yield

Lord Pagent came to us and this he did say I thank you 15th for your valor this day Now dismount from your horses and feed everyone So we’ll be ready to fight them again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.75.98 (talk) 15:53, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
