You've made the accusation for quite some time against the French without solid evidence? That isn't good methodology and only demonstrates bias on your part. That is too bad and I am somewhat disappointed in that respect.
I've given you the reference for Pelet's memoirs. I would think you'd try to get it and read it. You recommned pieces to be read and undoubtedly expect folks to read them.
Or don't you read the French side of events and merely condemn and form opinions from the British side of the coin?
Sincerely,
Kevin
