Would have to be under the British Flag then.  The cooperation of the Free French was an iffy proposition.

Given the problems between the British and Free French I am guessing that they were not part of any allied effort.  Was there an invasion conducted by only Free French forces?  Not sure but that would be my guess  -  as far as it goes.

No questions on numbers, e.g. how many men of the Black Watch were present and fit for duty at the battle of Waterloo.

Dates still OK.

800, thats about one battalion. the other battalion in the regiment was probably in scotland

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

One is NZ.

No idea the other, would be funny if it was India :lol:
Hooray! :cheers:

The other one is Oztralia.

Huh.  I ruled out Australia because you specified a national rate - I was sure it would be provincial jurisdiction in Australia (like it is in Canada).

Fucking lawyers

According to a rather dubious wiki page I was right - Australia's states brought in minimum wage legislation, but no national legislation.

While we await Max, here is a softball:  who was the only one of Napoleon's brothers never to command troops in battle?
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
