Not only are there 32 battalions of Russians, but the Allied total now sits at 40 - 17 British, 13 French, 6 Sardinian and 4 Turks - 1400 foot, 190 mounted and 32 guns...and I did seriously consider another division of 16 battalions of Russians. Thankfully something else has attracted my magpie eyes!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-6582151095535241292020-03-02T02:09:43.118+13:002020-03-02T02:09:43.118+13:00Some lovely additions Mark...
