Saturday-Night Theatre Sat 1st Sep 1984, 20:30 on BBC Radio 4 FM The Legion of the Lost An historical comedy by Paul Bryers. During the Napoleonic Wars, a French invasion of Wales was set up as a diversionary tactic. It was led by an American revolutionary colonel with more of a taste for wine and women than for military strategy, and his invasion of Fishguard is one of the least celebrated but most amusing episodes in history.
