Thank you Fiolar,
I'm always ready to yield to the experts. I am not a historian, hence nmy exhortation in my earlier post. But what, then , is the point of the words in the song "Clare's Dragoons" :-
"......... Saxons backward reeled before the charge of Clare's Dragoons" ?
Also the reference to the battle standards won at Ramillies by the Wild Geese being displayed in "Ypres' choir" ?
