Thanks, Kate, wonderful film! Three's lots of 200th anniversary events happening from now on, Peninsular War first but colminating in the Big One at Waterloo in 2015. I've already booked my place!
I'll be there at the 2015 celebrations as one of my ancestors, Thomas Sheldon fought at the battle in The Royal Horse Artillery as a Driver and had 2 horses shot from under him. He survived without a scratch and was a Chelsea pensioner he died aged 80 and is buried at St Marys Church, Arnold, Nottm

Thanks for that inspiring post, Kate.
Wow, some of that headgear is amazing! Fascinating stuff - where was it filmed?
At the Waterloo reenactment which takes place every year at Waterloo itself.
