We call it the war of 1812 with the British(In Canada) fighting with the Americans. Both side like to claim victory. The British managing to set the American White House on fire I think gives them the edge. The American don't like to admit this is a war they lost.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-48302431284743296892009-02-28T05:59:00.000+01:002009-02-28T05:59:00.000+01:00That's a lovely collection.
