At last I have brought my set of The Battle of Waterloo 2015 commemorative set of stamps via ebay which only took two days to deliver them to me. The British Post Office made a set of stamps to mark the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, I had completely forgotten about these at the time. But now they are in my stamp collection.
The landscape stamps are:
The defence of Hougoumont
The Scots Greys 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
wonder how many people collect stamps these days?
