Now thats a very interesting one that I had never come across. I will remember that the next time I see a statue... |
I heard this one a few years ago. driving into Chester there is a statue of a military bod on a horse, one leg in the air. List of battle honours relates to the Peninsular campaigns. Date of death makes the guy in his 80`s, from wounds?? I view it with sceptecisim!
