Amputated limbs unearthed in Waterloo dig

Waterloo Uncovered - the charity organising the dig - said the discovery of at least four leg bones had changed the atmosphere of the excavation.

One of the limbs had suffered from a"catastrophic wound", while another bore the mark of a surgeon's saw.Archaeologists believe surgeons at the field hospital amputated the limbs in an effort to save soldiers' lives"We'd like to think the men survived, but we don't know," team member Mike Greenwood told the BBC, adding that the bones provided direct evidence of the work surgeons were doing to save lives during the battle.

The discovery of a six-pound French cannon ball at the site also provided further indication of how close Napoleon Bonaparte came to winning the battle, they said.

Oh nice 😷

Should go to the second hand shop

No arm in that

the allies won because Wellington had learnt the lessons of the British loss in the America War of Independence and got the Persians to capture all Napoleons airfields.

I think you mean Prussian troops and not Persian. 🤔

Typo - Prussians, not Persians, fought at Waterloo....

Persian? Really? Did you wanna type Prussian?

'Tens of thousands died in the battle, which saw the French army defeated by the allied British and Persian troops.' Thank goodness for the Persians!!!!!

To be fair It is a crazy train station
