Waterloo - The Village

The anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo is nearly upon us and as I was looking through some old photos I took on one of my visits to the battlefield, I thought I ought to post them here. These photos were taken in the village of Waterloo.

Wellington's headquarters at Waterloo, now the museum.


Your humble author sitting in the Duke's chair. This is the very table and chair upon which Wellington composed his victory dispatch after the battle. His ADC, Sir Alexander Gordon was lying in the next room, mortally wounded.
