Speaking as a Welshman, remeber the old saw :-

"Another triumph for Britain !"

or

"England looses again !"

Though speaking historically, my ancestors marched through mud, blood, flood, and disease to cut the French to shreds at Agincourt, with the long bow, to be told that this was a triumph of english arms.

Outside of the original Spin Doctor - one Will Shakespear - is there any Ballard or Folk Song which records the feats of the South Wales bowmen ?

NB Harlech is in North Wales !
