Battle of Waterloo reenactment 2010

In 1815, part of the fighting that took place at the Battle of Waterloo actually occurred on the territory of Braine-l'Alleud, a small town in Wallonia, the French-speaking part of Belgium

Every 5 years, the Battle of Waterloo is reenacted right in the field outside Braine-l'Alleud. This clip was recorded in June 20th 2010, 195 years after the Battle of Waterloo. You can join for the next reenactment in 2015, exact 200 years after the battle.

Image quality is bad, since the clip was made using the HTC HD.

Is this on location of the actual battle? Are those farmhouses still there?

@rangergxi : Yes, it was reenacted in the actual battlefield where the battle happened in 1815. About the farmhouses, sorry I don't know :D

@SteamboatWilley Thanks, I had a nice time too, the battle was amazing. I am about to leave Belgium, probably I won't be able to join the 200 years celebration of the battle.

@rangergxi I fought at this battle, and I know Hougomont still exists (we camped in the gardens) but it is under refurbishment, but I have little idea about the other two.

WHY they didnt use ANY armor??? The battles usually resolved in COMBAT
