Wellington, with his multinational staff, rides past British Infantry during the Waterloo Campaign.
In his iconic bicorn hat, Wellington wore cockades to represent the allied nations, which reflects Wellington's diplomacy in the coalition.

Something Else by the Kinks(1967)
イギリスのロックバンド、キンクスの5th。
流行から外れた英国ソングを作り続け、
この時期から商業的に衰退し始める。
が、現代で高評価なのもこの時期。

A big shout out to @ZwhiteHistory and @mcribbHistory for their Waterloo tweets!! Lord Stewart hears the news of Waterloo by 21 June 1815, describing the battle as 'a splendid Triumph that has added new Lustre to the British Name.' #Waterloo
Aftermath to Waterloo, the casualties.
For the allies, those who could were taken to Mt St Jean Farm, which was set up as a field hospital.
The patient mortality was est 9%
But this doesn't factor how few serious casualties ever reached the hospital.

La Garde recule!
At the vital moment, the British 1/52nd swing out, without orders, and attacks 3rd wave of the Imperial Guard’s flank as it reaches the Allied line. Facing musket fire from the front and the side, they break.

D’Erlon’s corps is routed, powerless to resist the Allied heavy cavalry. Two eagles, the French regimental standards, are captured from the 45th and 105th regiments, one of which is taken by Sergeant Ewart.
RIGHT NOW in 1815, the first shots of the Battle of Waterloo are being fired. The fighting continues for nine hours and leaves 65,000 casualties. When it's over, Napoleon Bonaparte's "Hundred Days" comeback is over.

Napoleon arrives at La Belle Alliance, his main HQ during the battle. He reconnoitres the Allied position, & sets up an observation post to the right of La Belle Alliance, giving him a good view of the field
