15mm La Haye Sainte Sand Pit
(15S-ABP-SP-02)
On the morning of the 18th of June 1815, when battle was imminent, the men of the 2nd Light Battalion of the Kings German Legion were sent to take up a defensive position in and about the farm complex of La Haye Sainte, there to await the inevitable bloody engagement against Imperial French forces. The ensuing battle would go down in history as the final and pivotal major engagement of the
Napoleonic Wars, this battle would be forever known as the Battle of Waterloo.
By 17:00, as a continuation of the brutal combat that had already occurred about the farm with little effect, the French infantry changed tactics and now attempted to burn the defenders out, successfully setting fire to the barn. The defenders now took many casualties collecting water from the pond to dowse the fire.
