HC:

“Today, of course is the anniverary of Waterloo (18 June 1815). Here is a portion of Louis Dumoulin’s “Panorama of the Battle of Waterloo.” This portion of the painting depicts the beginning of the attack of the French heavy cavalry (at about 4 p.m.) The redhead in the center is Marshal Ney (Prince de la Moscowa), Napoleon’s principal field commander in this battle. To the left of the Marshal, in the red uniform, is his aide Col. Heymes, who accompanied Ney in many of his battles; and, on the Marshal’s right, is Ney’s other aide, Col. Levavasseur.

One reason the French did so poorly in this campaign, and in this battle that it would have been very difficult for them to win, was that the two colonels were the only staff the Marshal had. This was probably because he had been appointed to field command very late, arriving to join the army only the day before the campaign started.

Ney, known in the army as “Le Rougeaud: (“the red-faced one “) and called sometimes by Napoleon “le Brave des Braves” (“the bravest of the brave”). had at least five horses shot from under him at Waterloo. The Prince certainly understood the stakes, telling a subordinate during the battle that if the French “did not beat the English today, the émigrés [the party of the pro-English exiled royalists] will do for us with their bullets.”

Following the defeat of the French and the second exile of Napoleon, the Marshal Prince de la Moscowa, following a kangaroo trial in the French Chamber of Peers, was shot by firing squad in the Jardin du Luxembourg on 6 December 1815. Ney refused a blindfold and as a token of respect was allowed to give the commands to the firing squad, himself. His tomb is located in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.”

2023: Nils Olav promoted to Major General.

“The extraordinary journey of Nils Olav, the only penguin ever to be knighted, began at Edinburgh Zoo.

This unique tradition started in 1972 when Lieutenant Nils Egelien of the Norwegian King’s Guard was captivated by the zoo’s penguin colony during a visit for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Egelien arranged for the regiment to formally adopt a king penguin. The penguin was named Nils Olav, a tribute to Lieutenant Egelien himself and to King Olav V of Norway.

Since that time, the prestigious name and the associated honors have been passed down. There have been three successive king penguins at the zoo carrying the title of Nils Olav.

The first Nils Olav was adopted and officially made a Lance Corporal in 1972. Through the years, each penguin holding the name has steadily climbed the military ranks.

These promotions are treated as significant ceremonial events. They often occur when the Norwegian King’s Guard visits Edinburgh, sometimes involving parades and formal acknowledgment.

A truly remarkable moment in this tradition occurred on August 15, 2008. On this day, Nils Olav was formally knighted by King Harald V of Norway, thus becoming Sir Nils Olav.

His distinguished career continued to advance. Sir Nils Olav was promoted to the rank of Brigadier in 2016, and then further honored with a promotion to Major General in August 2023.

This enduring and charming tradition serves as a powerful symbol of the strong, friendly, and long-standing ties between the nations of Norway and Scotland.

For over five decades, this special penguin has been regarded as much more than a simple mascot; he is a celebrated dignitary and a cherished icon of international friendship and goodwill.
