French Rgts in the Boyne campaign

Browsing away as you do I came across this page on a French forum site. Being a thicky mono lingual Brit I can make very little sense from it, however half way down the page seems to be some jucy info on the French Rgts participating in the Boyne campaign. http://jeudhistoire.free.fr/viewtopic.php?f...

Re: First blog ever!

Not a problem at all Juan, just keep chatting on this thread, great to her from all you guys in any format. I wish I had more links specifically to the Revolutionary period from the web but if I get time I'll put up a list of the books I use for research and reference on the blog.
