Bicentenary of the Campagne de Belgique 1815

Today exactly 200 years ago took place the battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras.

For more info on these battles take a look here, here and here.

Bicentenary of the Campagne de Belgique 1815

Today started the Campagne de Belgique, by which Napoleon tried to obtain a fast victory against the seperate allied armies before thay had the possibility to reunite.

He therefore invaded Belgium on June 15th and took Charleroi.

I'll try to post some philatelic souvenirs I have on this campaign the coming days or otherwise a short summary of what happened each day.

To start here's a plan of the complete campaign :

Some more detailed info on what happened on June 15th, 1815 can be read here.
