Battlefields Tour #3 - Waterloo
On the morning of day one we went to The Lion's Mound ....
Thos steps, all 244 of them, are steep
Looking down on the battlefield
... and up at the lion
Mont Saint Jean Farmhouse - Wellington's field hospital
The circular building was called the Panorama ... amazing, as you can see -
The sunken road at Ohain
The Haie de la Sainte Farm
The Prince of Orange and his suite
Hougoument Farm burning
Belle Alliance Farm at Plancenoit
