Remember, when the children; Wilhelmine and Peterkin where playing with an object they found, Peterkin asked the old man (Kaspar) what it was, he said it was a skull of a soldier who died in the battle.
Further asking about why the battle was fought, <u>because he cannot remember,</u>he said<em> "The English routed the French, he says, in what later generations would call a great and famous victory".</em>
