You interested in the Napoleonic Wars? I'm only familiar with Waterloo and the Moscow campaign.

Since I was in college I have sensed that I am reincarnated in a small way as the aide to one of Napoleon's Marshalls from the retreat from Moscow.

I cannot speak French yet I can read it fluently. I've never studied French, only Spanish, Russian, and Japanese.

In Medical School, I needed an article translated from French to English, I gave it to a French-Canadian nurse that I worked with to translate and her translation was nearly identical to mine.

I also have recurring dreams 0f freezing to death.
