Albion Triumphant Part 2
On a damp; overcast Sunday in June 1815; twenty years of continuous warfare – the Napoleonic Wars – came to a violent and bloody conclusion on a rain-soaked field in Belgium. These wars were truly a world affair; with European powers fighting battles not only on the mainland of Europe but as far as India; Egypt; the Caribbean and America.
The greatest generals of the age finally faced each other on the field of battle; The Duke of Wellington; rooted to a little-known ridge; faced; the Emperor of the French. Napoleon Bonaparte; master of the attack; opposed brigades of British; Germans; Dutch and Belgians; brigades of an infamous army that; despite horrific casualties; clung to the ridge for over nine hours to ensure that the arrival of Blücher’s Prussian army would put the Duke’s victory beyond doubt.
The Battle of Waterloo became a true landmark in miltary history; one that will never fade; and nothing on such a grand scale would be seen again.
