W-50day2

Marshal Ney (b.1769) faced the firing squad with the courage to be expected of ‘the bravest of the brave.’ When his death sentence was read to him in the small hours of 7 December 1815 he interrupted the recital of his former titles with, ”what good can this do? Marshal Ney-then a heap of dust, that is all.”
