Well done to all of you who came to the Waterloo Night dinner last night and entered the quiz. Many of you got most of them right but the winner was Barbara Leese.
The correct answers are as follows:
1 Copenhagen was Wellington's horse, Marengo was Napoleon's. Napoleon was born in Corsica
2. Wellington is reputed to have said about his troops "I don't know what they do to the enemy but by God they frighten me"
3. Abba
4. Agincourt.
We hope to see you all at the Bastille celebration on 2 July when we will be serving Essington food with a French flavour.
