Attention O'Meara
re: NY 69th

My husband's father was in the 69th. Michael Gaffney--he rode a motorcycle. To think I know a verse that hasn't been posted here! Because of History Channel program about the Revolutionary War the subject of Washington came up which tickled my memory of Mademoiselle from Armentieres

Washington crossed the Delaware, parlez vous
Washington crossed the Delaware, parlez vous
Washington crossed the Delaware,
In his dirty underwear
Hinky-Dinky, parlez vous
