Rummage from "Legacy" chapter
editMe (Tomdo08 (talk) 23:09, 24 September 2010 (UTC)) removed the following paragraph from chapter Legacy:
This multiple blow was felt most severely by the family and the clan. One veteran soldier, who was, in fact, a Munro and had fought at the Battle of Dettington, Battle of Fontenoy, Battle of Culloden, Battle of Quebec and several other famous battles used to lament: "Ochon, ochon, had his ain folk been there!", referring to the fact that the men Robert commanded at Falkirk were English and not his own men from the 42nd Highlanders.<ref>"History of the Munros of Fowlis". By Alexander Mackenzie. P. 136 - 137. Published in 1898.</ref>
"This multiple blow was felt most severely by the family and the clan.":
- "This multiple blow" probably means the aforementioned death of Robert and his brother.
- It might be interesting.
- It is of no use without further specification
The part about the veteran soldier:
- Which of the several Battle of Quebec is meant? Maybe 1759? Or 1760?
- It does not appear to be very interesting. Maybe there were some special english circumstances to Rober's death?
- "and had fought at the Battle of Dettington, Battle of Fontenoy, Battle of Culloden, Battle of Quebec and several other famous battles" seems to be completely irrelevant here.
