The Walrus	Anyone watching My Son Jack? (111* d)	RE: Anyone watching My Son Jack?	14 Nov 07
"...'I'm sorry to disappoint you, but, at the time, the American Civil War was a minor conflict' 'We had twenty Waterloos........' Shelby Foote ... In the 20 odd years of the Taiping Rebellion (1851-64), the casualty list reached 20 - 30 Million as a direct result of Warfare and the resulting famines (At the Third Battle of Nanking in 1864, more than 100,000 were killed in three days) but how many people know much (if anything) of that war? Incedentally, it was this conflict which brought Charles ('Chinese') Gordon (Gordon of Khartoum) to the fore. "...twenty Waterloos..." Walrus By two armies which had firearms (probably not of the latest pattern), but very little artillery.
