Waterloo's Warriors DVD

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".
