Have people read the amazing story about Napoleon's picnic in 1807? There's a link on TMP right now. and even if the Napoleonic wars set every nerve-ending tingling with indifference, it's worth looking it up.

I'm glad they explained how they managed to 'trap' so many rabbits. I was wondering.

Did this ACTUALLY happen?

I have a mental script of the French high command agreeing they'd never mention it....

Visions of the classic Napoleonic pose (with hand in waistcoat) ..... and then pulling out a rabbit!

Surely that would be when he took his hat off ?

On another 'hunt' Napoleon shot the unfortunate Massena in the eye and immediately blamed Berthier. Whether he was believed or not is unknown.
