Today we look at the drunken misfits of Austrian Infantrie Regt Nr 47, 1st Division, I Corps .. who were rumoured to attend the events at Wagram in 1809.
"Drunken misfits?! Herr Oberst, we protest must. Misfits we may be after 15 years in the damned regiment, but with the meager pay the Hofkreigsrat authorizes (and the much less that we actually get, we not enough money to get drunk have!
Well, OK, maybe just on Christmas Eve. How else could you have talked us into marching to that church in Salzburg for mass?!"
