Re: French as lingua franca in Napoleonic times

When Major General Riedesel (of Saratoga fame) was serving in Scotland during the '45 Rebellion, he and other Hessian officers would converse with the Scottish gentry in Latin. However, I think it reached its peak of popularity in Victorian times - especially with the British Army: "peccavi" (Charles Napier - with a nod to Ms Winkworth and Punch), "nunc fortunatus sum" (Colin Campbell) and "vovi" (Lord Dalhousie).
