Post-Waterloo Parisian attitude towards Kilts!

[Dale Seago]

According to one letter, some soldiers of the 92nd had the audacity to hitch a ride on the stirrups of the charging Scots Greys.

Smart thing to do on a chaotic battlefield: The horse will help you around or over obstacles, while people in your way will either move or be removed.

i am terribly offended by the attitudes expressed and will never eat french fries again.

[McClef]

Just eat good old British chips instead then.

Nagod: “i am terribly offended by the attitudes expressed and will never eat french fries again.”

McClef: “Just eat good old British chips instead then.”

Piper Mackay of the 79th Camerons at Waterloo. He was awarded a set of silver-mounted pipes for his gallantry.

Thanks, Thistle. Your first graphic answers a question I was too timid to ask - if the Black Watch pattern was also worn by the 92nd, or not.
