A military cemetery. Near one of the graves of the soldiers it said "Eulalia, his wife"

A little of-topic, Romsca....
I always knew Eulalia was a name... (for those of you who like writing fanfic idea! Who was she? What did she do? Blah, blah, so on.)
(AND..... for those of you who like it the way it is, meaning victory, please don't be too mad at me for suggesting this! *Cowers*) ;D

For some reason when I translate the word on my computer, it says that It's spanish. How did I get that ???

Life is too short to rush through it.

Romsca

Actually I heard brock was Old English for badger...but I'm probably wrong. Anyway, Eulalia is also a Spanish name, I think

You're right, Romsca. Brock is an Old English name for badger. Meles is Latin for badger.

Back on topic: I always thought "Eulalia" was a rather beautiful sounding word. I would get the chills (the good, exciting kind) whenever it was used as a warcry in the books.  ;)

Brian Jacques said in "Ask Brian" that "Eulalia" was actually Celtic/Norse for "Victory", not Latin or Spanish...
Received mostly negative reviews.

Yeah, I knew it was something of the sort. I updated the first post.
