Right-o! Just because I feel like being difficult, this question is going to be a riddle:

We are partially rabbits,
Famous for bringing chocolate,
We are partially children,
Or an old tea-drinker's word for them,
We were named for our transports,
Our nassty, nassty transports,
Killed a king we did,
Killed his son we did,
And killed his other son who came along,
Yet killed were we, rather disgracefully,
While getting drunk, and drinking some more,
The place we died is something scouts do,
Oh woe are we, Oh woe are we.

Try making sense out of that one. The answer that I'm looking for is the battle where the answer to the riddle was slain.
