He's talking about in Europe fool.
Where they liberated Spain, and Belgium, and France from Boney.

Aye and Wellington was never in Bloody America. He was the commander of the British Expecitionary Forces sent to Portugal initially. Yes until Waterloo he never faced Napolean, but he did face his Generals, the Generals that had helped Napolean Conquor Europe. And he was out numbered, the French used Conscription, in Britain they didn't. (They might have tricked people into voulnteering, with the idea of taking the Kings coin, and then finding out yo have to pay for almost everything and actually end up owing the army money but hay...) Conscription wasn't introduced in the UK until the First world war.Ted wrote:He's talking about in Europe fool.

From a review of the two Towers.... 'As for Gimli being comic relief, what if your comic relief had a huge axe and fells dozens of Orcs? That's a pretty cool comic relief. '
