Hi all,

I've just completed the second Irish battalion that made its debut during the Talavera campaign.

Later, to be known as the "Aigle Catchers" amongst the British Army in the Peninsula, this battalion would develop from an unpromising start to achieve the accolade as the first British regiment to capture a French Eagle in the Peninsular War.

If you would like to know more about this unit, then just follow the link to JJ's.

I sometimes wish my Austrian battalions were that size!

Very nice :)
