#WaterlooRemembered - Day 1 Here. We. Go! The fortnight of Waterloo commemorations kicks off with me discussing the real Waterloo story, and some of the main areas of debate, ahead of the first interview tomorrow (which looks at some of the forgotten foreign forces). Fresh episodes will be released every day between now and the 18th June. Please share widely, and join the discussion. https://anchor.fm/the-napoleonicist/episodes/Waterloo-Whats-the-real-story-ef164s

The Dutch - Belgians seemingly knew very well the importance of those cross roads and decided on their own, regardless of Wellinton, at least to occupy it.
Regardless - of scrambling, by fighting there Drouet's whole corps became a waste by just not interfering either at Quatre Bras, nor at Ligny.
In case the Prussians wouldn't have putting up such a stiff fight at Ligny, Drouet's corps wouldn't have to be recalled, in fact it belonged to Ney and by taking it away from him, deprived him from a victory at Quatre Bras and Boney of a more decisive victory at Ligny.
