Above Aldershot is a hill called Caesar's Hill. On May 2nd, 1889, I was told that Julius Caesar, from that hill, witnessed a review of his army. Scraps of Folklore Collected by John Philipps Emslie.
C. S. Burne, in Folklore, Vol. 26, No. 2. (Jun. 30, 1915), pp. 153-170.
Bwakem's comment above: humourous or confused? Surely local people couldn't have got confused so recently to the event? Or perhaps Mr Emslie just wasn't listening properly to his informant. Perhaps it's the latter.
