With life-blood stain its soil, and pay the due
That lifts it to eternal fame, -- for then
'Tis grown a Gettysburg or Waterloo.
~ Mark Antony DeWolfe Howe, Distinction
To read some great historical “fiction” about the Battle of Waterloo read Bernard Cornwell’s book “Waterloo: The History of Four Days, Three Armies, and Three Battles.” Also worth reading if you’re interested in the Royal Navy aspects of Napoleon’s 100 days campaign, read “The Hundred Days” by Patrick O’Brian.
“Up Guards, and at them again.” Sir Arthur Wellesley
My my
At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way…
Abba - Waterloo
