Even though it had been raining the previous days, about 400 people decided to stay the night on the site and depict a camp of the Napoleonic time.
Some Brits resting...
After a muster in the morning, all marched to the memorial stone to hold a ceremony in remembreance of the men who fought here.
After that I had a good opportunity to capture most of the reenactors on film
After taking a short rest and lunch the units prepared for battle
The battle began with skirmishers from both sides
Then the line troops joined in
Here a short clip of the action
Defending against cavalry
The winning side advances
What remains...
All in all it was a very intense experience. The drums, pipes, shouted commands, the shooting with a tremendous sound level and the smoke it created made me feel a bit of what it must have felt like to be on a battlefield in the Napoleonic era.
