Through their own accounts, this compelling history documentary tells the stories of the Scots, Irish, Welsh, Dutch, and German troops who fought the battle and of the families who travelled with them.

With 200,000 men fighting over a small area of land, the Battle of Waterloo was an amazing, gory spectacle.

But the human cost is also explored, such as Elizabeth McMullen who heroically rescued her injured husband from the battlefield.
