tom4141tom , 7 days ago to histodon group Reenacting Memory: Waterloo 200. There was something about this event that "haunted" me. For weeks afterwards I would look at a new post featured more incredible photos. I could not help but look and slide down that rabbit hole.

From the time I joined the hobby, I had stories of Waterloo '90 and Waterloo '95. Well now I had Waterloo 2015 and am looking ahead to Waterloo 2025! @histodons @histodons #napoleonichistory image/png image/png image/png

tom4141tom , 14 days ago to histodons group On the road to Waterloo (intersecting timelines in my posts!) 6 Years ago - 2018.

Morning walk in Brussels and then off to Waterloo! @histodon @histodons #napoleonichistory image/png image/png image/png
