[edit] Confused

This article makes no sense - if the cannon shot turned the fleet around, how were 13 soldiers captured by a lady, and how did they surrender? Did this even happen? --Awiseman 18:00, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

The point of the story is that it did not really make sense, therefore made the french look bad. Edited the article to explain the cannon. 12 Soldiers I believe. Apparently they believed that the red-coated Welshwomen where British troops (Red uniforms). Yes - it did happen. Agathoclea 23:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, it makes a lot more sense now. --Awiseman 16:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

It makes sense but its still fucking hilarious, these hardened criminal conscript soldiers surrendered to a pack of women! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.180.155 (talk) 11:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

This article sounds like a 'pub story'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.192.138.92 (talk) 00:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I have just heard it on the BBC TV series Coast. Pretty much confirmed most of the article, including the women in welsh costume being confused with grenadier guards. Billlion (talk) 21:06, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
