Viva Mexico!

Odd fact.  One of those killed at the Alamo was a retired British Major General - a Welshman called Edward Edwards (there's a memorial to him in a church at Aberdare in Wales) and to this day no one knows which side he was on!

Was he "inside" with Travis, Davy Crockett & Co or "outside" advising General Santa Anna?

again very impressive cooster!  :D
I left my love a letter in the hollar of a tree.
I told her she would find me in the U.S. Cavalry.
