Forget Christmas! This date is associated with something far more momentous!

On this date in 1787, the 41st Regiment of Invalids, loses its Invalids designation and becomes a regular Regiment of the Line!

Re-enacting Memory: Waterloo 2015

Cavalry in the area, we formed square.

Also gives a neat view of the grandstands and spectators.

I remember feeling really vulnerable with infantry shooting us as we were awaiting the cavalry soaking up their shots
