Subject: RE: Search for the Real C. Fox Smith
CHarley bit off thread, but bare with me
I like charity shops too and recently was in Malmsbury, Wilthshire and came across this
Cochrane
The Life And Exploits of a Fighting Captain, by Richard Harvey £2.99
All about England's forgotten other Hero
Earl of Dundonald, Lord Thomas Cochrane
Fought many battles against the French and won. Freed Chile, Peru and Brazil form the Portuguese. Greece from the Turks. Etc.
Cant seem to find any songs about him.
Loads about Nelson. Nothing about this man.
What do you know ?
