tom4141tom , 6 days ago to histodon group Reenacting Memory: Waterloo 200. There was something about this event that "haunted" me. For weeks afterwards I would look at a new post featured more incredible photos. I could not help but look and slide down that rabbit hole.

From the time I joined the hobby, I had stories of Waterloo '90 and Waterloo '95. Well now I had Waterloo 2015 and am looking ahead to Waterloo 2025! @histodons @histodons #napoleonichistory image/png image/png image/png

Waterloo is often described as a small battlefield. 6000 reenactors viewed by 50,000+ used a small portion of the battlefield and we were swallowed by its immensity! @histodons @histodon #napoleonichistory image/png image/png image/png

tom4141tom , 10 days ago to histodon group Something not many folks have seen! INSIDE the courtyard at La Haye Sainte. In 2015 it was on our route to the battlefield but the column stalled as a cannon broke a little ramp/bridge on the other side. Gave us a chance for a look around! @histodons @histodon #napoleonichistory image/png image/png image/png

tom4141tom , 13 days ago to histodon group On the road to Waterloo (intersecting timelines in my posts!) 6 Years ago - 2018.
