PL OK! We are galloping faster than I can keep up with. A lot of 'pacification' in that chapter.

Best,

Barbara

Kabul town's by Kabul river —
Blow the bugle, draw the sword —
There I lef' my mate for ever,
Wet an' drippin' by the ford.
Ford, ford, ford o' Kabul river,
Ford o' Kabul river in the dark!
There's the river up and brimmin', an' there's 'arf a squadron swimmin'
'Cross the ford o' Kabul river in the dark.

Thanks, Barbara!

Yeah “pacification” a terrible word.

Thanks for the poem about the retreat!

Hi Pam,

Section 6 is PL OK.

So much literary resonance again in this chapter - "into the valley of death rode the six hundred" and "The Siege of Krishnapore" ...do you know it? - https://tinyurl.com/wmpbtvsf

Hi Barbara,

I know about the siege of Lucknow, but I don't know this book. The reviewer loves it! Have you read it?

Thanks!

PL OK

A leap and a sound landing. BTW, I thought New Zealand was the first country to give women full suffrage but I googled and discovered that they were beaten by Corsica (1755) and ...wait for it...scroll down...

Well, maybe you know already but it would be a good quiz question...

The Territory of Wyoming in 1869.
