Re-enacting Memory: 2015, kicking around Bath.

I had enough of being in uniform so I acted as paparazzi.

Re-enacting memory: I believe 2012? School of the Sailor at Fort George.

A great photo by I think Teresa Michenfelder.

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.

Here are photos by @andi_springer

And just like that our Waterloo 200 adventure was over and the next day we would return home.

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!

At Waterloo 200, this is when the various Royal Scots in our battalion gathered for a memorial close to the spot they stood 200 years previously.

Re-enacting Memory: 9 years ago today, Day 2 of Waterloo 200.

We were defending the Hougoumont structure.

There was not much left of the walls after the battle moved away from us!

On this date 9 years ago.

Back in Brussels.

After having heard about the big events for decades, at last we have had our Waterloo!
