Titre: Visiting the Waterloo battlefield
Posté par: DominiqueT le 05 juillet 2011, 12:50:27 pm

I've just put online a complete visit of all the monuments and memorials in the South-East part of the Waterloo battlefield (Plancenoit).
It might be of use if you ever visit the place.

thanks for putting it up - I remember having my Atkin Waterloo guide with me when I visited the battlefield last summer - unfortunately just ONE week before the reenactment... oh well - maybe next year! :)

Adkin's work is indeed a VERY good book for understanding and visiting the battlefield, although he has forgotten one memorial, the one to the 11e Chasseurs à Cheval.
