Belgium: Waterloo

On Wednesday I got eleven postcards including two from Belgium.

One of them shows the Lion's Mound in Waterloo. Waterloo is a municipality in Wallonia. In 1815 the Battle of Waterloo, which marked the final end of Napoleon's rule, was fought there. The Lion's Mound was constructed between 1820 and 1826 to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo.


With a related stamp:
200 years Battle of Waterloo (from set of five) (issued 01-06-2015)


Thank You very much Gerda!
