Thread Name: Songs about British defeats
Subject: RE: Songs about British defeats
I know one or two French songs about defeating the English. My favourite is "Le general de Flipe", about the defeat of the expedition against Quebec in 1690 (on the same album as the Foudrion). I'm not familiar, though, with any songs that the English wrote about their own defeats. There weren't so many at sea (but with some notable exceptions, of course: see Admiral de Grasse), but there were certainly some on land.
