The British Post Office made
a set of stamps to mark the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of
Waterloo.
I have completely forgotten
about these and I will now have to start looking for them as they do not appear
on the Post Office web site now.
The landscape stamps are:
The defence of Hougoumont
The Scots Grey's during the
charge of the Union Brigade
The French cavalry’s assault
on allied defensive squares
The defence of La Haye Sainte
by the King’s German Legion
The capture of Plancenoit by
the Prussians
The French Imperial Guard’s
final assault
The horizontal stamps are:
92nd Gordon
Highlanders
Light Infantry King’s German
Legion
Prussian Infantryman
French Imperial Guard
Grenadier
These stamps look great but I
have never seen them around although how many of us now receive letters in our
post from family or friends?
