WATERLOO ASSOCIATION WEEKEND
March 22nd at 18:30 to March 24th at 13:30
| The French Revolution and the worldwide conflict that ensued, which was only brought to an end by The Battle of Waterloo, retains a continuing fascination to this day. It was arguably the first modern global war, involving huge armies, and fought on land and sea. During this weekend we will cover a range of subjects including Waterloo itself, with a re-assessment of the struggle for Hougoumont farm, the battle within a battle. On the 210th anniversary we will look at Wellington’s campaign into southern France while Napoleon fought his own campaign in the north-east. We will also look at the Intelligence service in Wellington’s army in the Peninsula 1808-14; the Rifles in the Peninsula; the performance of the French cavalry 1800-1815; and the contribution of British combined operations. |
