Written in 1834 by Vincent Nolte a frenchman who witnessed the Battle of New Orleans.

Napoleons soldiers fight "for glory of our arms or our nation".

British soldiers fight "for King and country" or "God and country".

American soldiers fight "for the good of my country".

British Marquis of Tweeddale, said "I hope it will never fall to my lot again to fight Americans; every one of them always fights his own individual battle, and is a most dangerous enemy."
