    What We Saw at Waterloo

    In 2010, on the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, Victoria and I toured the battlefield and I stayed on for the Battle re-enactment. In a lead up to this year's anniversary of the Battle, below are but a few of our favorite photos from that visit.

    When the Duke of Wellington saw the Lion Mound
    he complained, "They have ruined my battlefield."  
    One wonders what he'd have said about the landmark below.
