"Waterloo 2009 - Re-enactment of bivouacs and battles

On the commemorative date of the battle, assist to the re-enactment of bivouacs and battles in the uniforms of the time. NEW in 2009 : seats in the grandstand to attend this real show under exceptional conditions."


Nice photo from last year.

Thanks for the links Scott. It would seem to be a magnificent affair to attend.

I wish I could but I have to live vicariously through other reenactors. The unit in the photo is a Light Infantry regiment like the new HaT plastic sets.

Youtube video of the reenactment. The action happens very close to the spectators! Things get "lame" when the forces get close for hand to hand combat, just like US reenactments.

My hope is to be at Waterloo in 2015 for the 200th anniversary. Hopefully they will have something special on!
