Dan,
The Corries do a song, Bloody Waterloo: A lassie she was walking all on the banks o' Clyde
The tear ran doon her rosy cheeks as I walked by her side
I saw her bosom heaving, her voice was sweet and low
She was weeping for her Willie lad that sailed for Waterloo
And the Black Family sing The Warlike Lads of Russia, about the retreat from Moscow, which portrays Napoleon as a great coward. Has your friend got those? - Susanne
