The nearest run thing you ever saw in your life

Today is an epic day in history. On June 18th, 1815 at about 7:30 Napoleon Bonaparte sent in his Imperial Guard against The Duke of Wellington in a last desperate effort to achieve victory.

Well, it didn't work out for the Ogre of Europe, which I personally think was the best thing for everyone involved. Especially this guy.
I bet that hat is really uncomfortable in July and August.

Here is a link some rare photos of Grande Armee.
