    Glorious Commander Palanca

    This thread is a spin-off of another one.

    Well guys, tell me all you know about Comandante Palanca, especially you Waku, our search engine guru Where this guy fits in on Spain's History? A very remarkable campaign imho

    I always wanted to write a scenario about this very honorable man but never found enough info.

    it's now your turn to dig out some info & share it with all of us!!

      It could be the same Palanca since the one I'm talking about had his "moment of glory" not much before... okay, he was one of the officers of that absurd and failed attempt to create a Spanish protectorate in Indochina a la francaise. I seem to recall it was during Isabel II's reign but could have been much later.


      IMHO: in my humble opinion

      PD. je, je me acuerdo que nada mas llegar a los Estates -hace ya algunos bastantes años- me volvia loco con esa mania de estos tios de abreviarlo todo: asap, afaik, fyi... ahora hago yo lo mismo.. gulp!

            Now you confuse me... 2 BRB? More Palanca pages perhaps? That'd be great!

              Something I've found:

              "Rigault de Genouilly took command of French naval forces in Cochinchina in 1857...
              ...in 1871 went to Barcelona (Spain) to live out his
              years."

              Curious, isn't it?

                i've already ordered the Palanca book. I hope it's at least half good as I expect.
                Waku and others, if you find more info re Commander Palanca and the expediction to Cochinchina please post to this thread. Thanx.
