I went to the WA Aviation Heritage Museum with my eldest grandson yesterday. Not a bad collection of non flying aircraft. Volunteers were a wealth of informatiin. Even this non aircraft enthusiast found it interesting.

19 August 1812. Battle of Valutno Gora. A win for the French against the Russians and the battle where Gudin received his mortal wound.
I want to also remember a single man, Jean Baptiste Primet. He was born in Chalons on 2nd June 1778.
Just short of his 21st birthday he was conscripted

RIP Charles Huchet, Comte de la Bédoyère executed by the Bourbons on 19 August 1815, aged 21.It was his regiment, 7th Ligne that went over to Napoleon at Grenoble following his return from Elba.
Accused of being involved in a (mythical) plot to return Napoleon to France.
A man of honour.

I find this image very moving. A memorial stone to a 2nd century CE charioteer, with a fresh rose next to it. Linking two people 1800 years apart.
