Dear Bernard, Recently just watched Waterloo (with Christopher Plummer as Wellington) again for the first time, in a long while and have a question about it, I hope you can help with. It’s the bit where the British or allied troops are lined up just before the battle starts ,drinking their gin (and no doubt crapping themselves!) and start singing a couple of songs that go a bit like this:- One goes, “Who’s the fella with the hooky nose…our (something) … who’s the fella who etc etc. and the other one goes, “Boney fought the prooshians aye, aye, aye.” It’s a great bit of the film that puts you in soldiers boots so to speak, but the question is do you know if these are authentic songs (that were sung at this or other battles), and if so how they go exactly? Hope you can help. Thanks, Paul.
