Description

18/06/1815 - 18/06/2015: bicentenary of the battle of Waterloo, the battle that determined the faith of European history, during the 19th century.
In the picture, we see two British fellows right on the moment when they preparing a practical joke to a French friend of theirs. The British had met the Frenchman when they all were Erasmus students in Madrid, during the academic year 1812-13. A couple of years later, they all meet again south of
Brussels, in a little village called Waterloo…
Charming reunion.

My theory as a historian is that if Napoleon had committed to the battle at Waterloo Grouchy and Ney in persecution of the Prussians the results would have been different.

Grouchy had sent Hougomont fly the skies with artillery. And Ney, listening to the first cannons would have undertaken the return intercepting the Prussians from behind.
