Cool videos, but BOY! do some of those guys get heated over the fact that the British were largely responsible for winning the day.

Once, when asked if he was Irish, Wellington is said to have replied, "Our Lord was born in a stable but that didn't make him a horse." I think Wellington, just like George Washington (until July 4th, 1776), considered himself to be English.
