18 June 1815 – Waterloo – Hougoumont. The 3 chestnuts

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The three chestnuts closest to Hougoumont farm, which survived the Battle of Waterloo and had been revered as last witnesses of the 18 June 1815 bloodshed, as three sentinels towering majestically over the bucolic Waterloo landscape, are now reduced to two : the middle one succumbed to a gull in the early hours of March 11th, 2021.
