It's unclear whether any American graves are at the same cemetery, based on reading the article, but 11,000 British soldiers' graves are there. I didn't know Brits were called Rosbeefs. Hmmmm.... How soon they forget that we liberated *them* at a huge price when their own government sold them out.

That has a lot of Southern men rolling in those graves I am sure! - --Amy ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Apr 2003 11:14:23 -0500 From: Rob Maher Subject: Re: seven-seas Be Afraid...................
