I am not sure Napoleon was ever really himself after the Russian campaign. What he expected after his victory at Borodino and what really turned out was very different. Expecting the Russians to surrender only having them chase him all the way back to France may have put some doubt in his mind. Maybe that doubt is what affected his decisions at a place like Waterloo. I know in sports that if you loose your confidence it can be hard to get back. I imagine the same could be said about war generals. Just a thought. Enjoyed the post.
Father's Day

Happy father’s day friends.

Happy Father’s Day!
Actually in my time zone it was yesterday.

Morning Worsham.
Wasn’t aware that it was Father’s Day in the US too.
I have a 3 year old girl. She and Al made me a card and she wrote my short name on it.
We had a great day, even had Al’s father and mother over too.
My parents are in Italy at the seaside, but dad is not bothered about fuss. -
