>whilst savouring the interesting vintage from Armagnac this year

Ah yes, that would be the aristocracy - you don't think they'd prefer a 1916 Somme then?

By the way I found this interesting site about the first world war battlefields, http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~calong/print.somann.html. Please feel free to post an equivalent site from the "other side", if anyone feels strongly enough, I don't think the poor Germans in the trenches had a great time, either.
