The Waterloo Podcast

My name is Martin Aaron, I"m a lecturer at University College London. Since the year 2000 I’ve been building a database of the British army at Waterloo. By compiling original records from the Public Record office and regimental archives, I’ve gathered information about each of the 33,000 British combatants in 1815. This podcast series examines that data.For questions and comments please email waterloopodcast@outlook.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
