I have often wondered about this. Personally I have always had a strange connection with Hougoumont, the farmhouse in the battle of Waterloo 1815. I took the march of a soldier from one of Napoleon's regiments and had very vivid pictures of what the battle was like in my head. When I got back to the shop there was prints of paintings from the battle, and oddly my imagination was scarily close to the truth!

I have had a fascination with the battle from a young age, and have read many books. I have seen the film.

I honestly believe I was one of Napoleons musketeers.

"They're coming to take me away, Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away, Ho Ho Hee Hee Ha Ha
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-ha"

Maybe thats because about 2 seconds previous you had just been walking across the landscape? Add in a standard few soldiers and I'm guessing that it isnt very hard to imagine that kind of a scene
