Reenacting Memories 2015. Waterloo 200 haunted me for weeks after.

Reenacting Memory: Waterloo 200.
There was something about this event that "haunted" me.
For weeks afterwards I would look at a new post featured more incredible photos. I could not help but look and slide down that rabbit hole.

Reenacting Memory: Waterloo 200 on this date in 2015. One last act in uniform.
A parade in the village of Waterloo.
And just like that our Waterloo 200 adventure was over and the next day we would return home.
From the time I joined the hobby, I had stories of Waterloo '90 and Waterloo '95.
Well now I had Waterloo 2015 and am looking ahead to Waterloo 2025!
Re-enacting Memory: 10 years ago today, Day 2 of Waterloo 200.

On this date 10 years ago.
Back in Brussels.

Waterloo 200 in 2015.
The first battle on the evening of the 19th.
