The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday 18 June 1815, marking the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The battle cost Wellington around 17,000 dead or wounded, and Bl;cher some 7,000. Napoleon's losses were 24,000 to 26,000 killed or wounded, including 6,000 to 7,000 captured.
The battlefield was littered with the dead & discarded equipment, attracting 100s of scavengers, some of whom had travelled a great distance. Despite the efforts of scavengers, human remains could still be seen at Waterloo a year after the battle.
This is the account of an unknown person who visited shortly after the battle…
