Napoleon's Memoirs

Last week I visited the Targe wargames exhibition in Kirriemuir and picked up a copy of Napoleon's Memoirs for £3.  The hardcover is from the 1940's and is edited by Somerset De Chair, bringing the various campaigns dictated to his secretaries into a single narrative. 
Of course, I immediately flipped to the back for the Waterloo section.  Napoleon's point-of-view is interesting, and reads ' Winning, winning, winning, winning, Prussians, winning, lost'! 

Speaking of Prussians, the first command stand for my Silesian Landwehr are based.  I've gone with black crossbelts  based on the guidance of the Mont-Saint-Jean site.
