After travelling all day yesterday home in time for the weekend. It’s going to take a while to come down from all that astounding archaeology, none of which would have come to light without all that outstanding work by the team. This was peak @DigWaterloo. Thanks everyone!

The carnage of the battle of Waterloo is still being uncovered more than two centuries later.
I talked to @DigWaterloo volunteer veterans @ProfTonyPollard about their painstaking work at Mont-Saint-Jean farm, which served as Wellington's field hospital.

Had an amazing ride today with my father-in-law, who’s 72 and still crushing it! 🚴♂️ We explored the New Forest National Park, sticking as close as possible to the park boundary.
Only two weeks left until I take on the 250-mile ride for @DigWaterloo ! justgiving.com/page/lawrence…

OTD 1815 Waterloo. Where so many suffered is today a place of healing. Since 2015 @DigWaterloo has enhanced the well-being of military veterans, many of whom have fought their own battles, through engagement in the archaeological investigation of the battlefield. @UofGWarstudies

Thinking of my heroes @nebmas333 & @john_litterick. #OTD 1982 fought as Scots Guards in Battle of Tumbledown. In 2022 with @1982Mapping became first war veterans ever to assist in archaeological survey of their own battlefield. @FIMuseum @DigWaterloo @UofGWarstudies @AnthroClack

Smashing day at @DDay_Replayed in Stirling. Brings back happy memories of @WaterlooReplay and a reminder of how much hard work these big charity wargaming events take to organise and stage. Will be saying a few words about the work of @DigWaterloo at dinner tonight. #Carrier!
