Waterloo – an overview (Part One)
Talk by The Late SIR CHRISTOPHER WALLACE)
Was on the 30th March 2015 In The Kincaid Gallery, RGJ (Rifles) Museum
This is the first of a number of talks and seminars forming a part of the Museum’s 2015 Bicentenary of Waterloo programme of events. The Waterloo campaign began with Emperor Napoleon’s escape from Elba on 26th February 1815 and ended with the Allies marching triumphantly into Paris 131 days later on 7th July. A great deal, including one of Europe’s greatest battles, took place in between. This talk aims to set the scene for subsequent talks. Lt-General Sir Christopher Wallace, who is a former Green Jacket and currently Chairman of the Museum’s Trustees, will divide his talk into two parts. In the first part he will provide an overview of the key events during the Waterloo campaign up to and including 17th June. In the second part, Sir Christopher covers the course of the battle on 18th June and the subsequent occupation of Paris.
