They took with them a copy of the 'New Waterloo Dispatch' and replicas of the two captured Imperial Eagles and Standards taken at Waterloo. The re-enactors then took part in ceremonies at the selected locations during which senior public figures and dignitaries were presented with the 'New Waterloo Dispatch'.<br /><br />I hope to include more detailed information when I write my blog entry about the ceremony that took place at Walmer Castle.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-26016444833196386072015-06-29T07:31:01.436+01:002015-06-29T07:31:01.436+01:00Oh, tell us more about the Waterloo dispatch!Oh, tell us more about the Waterloo dispatch!Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.com
