In memory of all those men, women and and children who have lost their lives in conflict around the world..........

The original Black Adder Goes Forth ending for those who have not seen it....

Waterloo 200 - Capturing of the Eagle of the 105th Ligne

Been a little while due to life problems and work commitments..... Thought I would show off something with a Waterloo theme.......

Firstly, capture of the Eagle of the 105th Ligne by Captain Clark and Cpl Stiles of the 1st(Royal) Dragoons











Controversy still surrounds the capture of the Eagle and a discussion on this can be found in Adkins, The Waterloo Companion p417 to 418
