  • I suspect that that the title of this clip is incorrect, and that it should read "German Prisoners at Fleury".

    "Pleury", as the title currently reads, has no meaning I can make sense of.

The Duke of Edinburgh has many talents, but it is his unique way with words that often receives the most attention.
