This a great DVD that gives a good overview of the battle & the role played by the Irish & Scots. The Irish made up 30% of the British Army, the Scots had several elite units & made up a quarter of the officers. Also there are some personal accounts of the Irish & Scottish that fought there including some of the accompanying wives.
This documentary covers a lot of the battle in great detail, more detail than you would normally expect! I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in history that wants to know more about the prelude to and the background detail of the battle of Waterloo! It gives valuable background information and detail about the main protagonists and some of the causes and events that precipitated the battle In particular some of the political issues of the day!
The famed army that defeated Napoleon at Waterloo is often remembered as an iconic ‘English redcoat’ force.
However, most of the men under the Duke of Wellington’s command weren’t typically English at all. Waterloo’s Warriors explores the remarkable true stories of the Irish and Scottish men and women who lived and died at the Battle of Waterloo. Covering events leading up to and those including the bloody battle in Waterloo, Belgium on 18th June 1815, Waterloo’s Warriors is an in-depth investigation, revealing Wellington’s “British” army contained thousands of Irishmen and Scots and together these Celtic troops played a vital role in the battle. Some 200 years later Waterloo’s Warriors reviews history, using first-hand accounts, dramatic re-enactments and rare Irish language documents to tell the true story of Waterloo from the perspective of “Na Laochra Gael”.
