Ligny & Quatre Bras - June 16, 1815

 Salvete Omnes,

there is a war in the Middle East - Israel suddenly attacked Iran last Friday. God have mercy on the people of the region and hopefully  the ancient monuments will survive both in the Holy Land and in Persia. 



a little remembrance from the Napoleonic Era - on this day but in 1815 two filed battles were fought during the so called Waterloo campaign.




Battle of Ligny 










and battle of Quatre Bras - two serious battles . 






Pacaem aeternam to all fallen and veterans who survived to fight another day, as on June 18 two battle were to be fought - Wavre and Waterloo.

Valete
