Monstrous Regiment annotations

Maybe y'all can think of additions to this fine preliminary list of Monstrous Regiment annotations. Having the songs and song lyrics explicated, including Country Joe and the Fish's "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag," is especially helpful.

One useful addition to the page would be a list of items of clothing and items of fashion that in our own world actually are named for military leaders, something Pratchett has much fun with in this novel. Wellington boots (or "wellies") and sideburns immediately come to mind.
