Sminky,
I must admit to being a little confused here. Why would someone write a song in 1868 that says 'Napoleon talks of war, boys'? The song mentions Waterloo so is at least post '15. Does it therefore refer to Napoleon III and if so I always thought Napoleon III was a great friend of Victoria and lived in England???
