Waterloo 1705
What is it about this village in Belgium that makes it the centre of a major battle every hundred years or so. Obviously we have the one in 1815 and it was fought over in 1914 but there was also conflict there in the Marlborough period - in 1705 to be precise - check out these great photos - http://www.pixelsbw.com/netguide-jaune/marlborough02/photo006.htm
this one features the UK's Lord Orkneys regiment - other groups featured include Holcroft Bloods and Sans Pareil and the Dutch Blue Guards
