Good try Laurie, but it seems he was too late arriving and the battle was won with General Von Bulow. cheers Penny

Arguable point Penny.

There is a point of view, to which I subscribe, that von Bulow couldn't manage it and Blucher, admittedly late, came to he aid of the Highlanders in the nick of time and saved the day.

Needless to say this did not get a great deal of publicity at the time (or since!).
