Waterloo Uncovered are proud to present this unique exhibition offering the first chance to see a brand new and highly accurate diorama of the Battle of Waterloo.
With the support of the National Army Museum, the Royal United Services Institute and the Royal Hospital Chelsea, Waterloo Uncovered are excited to present a first look at Major General James Cowan's expansive and highly detailed new model of the Waterloo battlefield.
Given the scale of the model (which will be roughly the size of a tennis court when finished!), the exhibition will only feature the corners of the battlefield, covering Hougoumont, La Haye Sainte, Papelotte, Plancenoit and La Belle Alliance.
The model will be on display at the National Army Museum from 20 to 23 October 2021 alongside some of Waterloo Uncovered's archaeological finds from the battlefield.
Waterloo Uncovered is a charity that uses archaeology to help improve the lives of veterans and serving military personnel. For six years, they have brought a diverse team of world-class archaeologists, university staff, veterans and serving soldiers together to create new insights not only into the historic battlefield of Waterloo but also into the experiences of today’s servicemen and women.
The Battle of Waterloo was fought on 18 June 1815 between Napoleon’s French Army and a coalition led by the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Blücher. It was the decisive battle of its age.
