EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant scene of a burial party at work near the La Belle Alliance inn, seven days after the fateful Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. The Napoleonic Wars had reached their climax in this historic encounter between the French army, led by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Seventh Coalition, comprised of forces from various European powers. The Battle of Waterloo, fought in present-day Belgium, resulted in a decisive victory for the Allied forces, marking the end of Napoleon's reign and his subsequent exile to the island of Saint Helena. The aftermath of the battle was a scene of devastation, with countless lives lost and the landscape dotted with the wounded and the dead. In this photograph, a group of soldiers, likely from the British army, are seen tending to the burial of their fallen comrades. The solemnity of the scene is palpable, with the soldiers focused on their task, their faces etched with the weight of the events that transpired just a week prior. The horses, too, seem to sense the gravity of the situation, their ears pricked and eyes fixed on the soldiers. The La Belle Alliance inn, a historic site that has borne witness to numerous events throughout history, stands in the background, a testament to the rich tapestry of stories and experiences that have unfolded on this land. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Napoleonic Wars and the enduring impact of historical events on the human experience.
