At the start of the article is says over two thousand Mexican soldiers, the channel 4 article also says this but the middle of the article says "a Mexican Army force of 1,600 soldiers (600 cavalry & 1,000 infantry)" and the French Foreign Legion article says over a thousand men not two thousand. Obviously both the article should stick to one estimate of the troop value. What should be done about this? Catzdan 18:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello guys. Last week I went for the 185 ceebration of the battle in Camaron Mexico. Yes, its spelled Camaron, not Cameron, a comon mistake. I talked to an elderly man, who kept all the detaills of the battle from generation to generation, here is what I foun out:

-The mexicans were apparently 600+ , as like the old man told me, it was imposible to rally 2000 man in such quik time in those times.

-They were taken coffe when the legion was attacked.

-Apparently, since the legion never surrenders, they faught to death, but, one man (who later told the story)"played dead" and was taking along with all the wounded to another hacienda, were some old lady took care of them. He then left and told the story.

Thats what the old man told me :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adrien Chatillon (talk • contribs).
