We could have done with Bluchers support last Saturday just before the final whistle.Only 36% of Wellington’s army were British. The rest of the Allied army were German, Dutch, Flemings and Walloons. In fact, 45% of his troops spoke German. I’m not knocking the contribution that the steadiness of British troops made – far from it – but think we, as a nation, tend to try and take too much credit for battle honours. Had it not been for the arrival of the Prussians the outcome of Waterloo would have been very different.
Never mind. As Mike says, this is outstanding work which any collector would be proud to own.
