Oh, one more thing... Perhaps if they hadn’t been serving hot toddies at the front the French might have fared a bit better??? SERIOUSLY — requiring warm wine of at least 9% alcohol? Doesn’t sound smart to have your infantry drunk all the time!

I don't know - Nelson's tars got a prodigious ration of rum at least once a day. And look how they fared at Trafalgar against the French.
