Waterloo 200: the ultimate action cam video - 8eme de Ligne, french infantry side

Hello, my name is "Le Petiot", a grenadier of the 8eme regiment de ligne, a french infantry reenactment group during the revolution and napoleonic wars.

During the Ligny & Waterloo battle bicentenaries, I was involved in the reenactment combats. I filmed around 6 hours of movie rushes with a Go Pro Action Cam, directly in the middle of the bivouacs and the fights.

Immediately after the battles, I already posted two shorts & dynamic videos of my experience. Two years after and now equipped with the latest iMac, I took the opportunity to prepare and to present you the long (145 minutes) movie version of our adventures. You will find here the followings parts :

- 00:00 : The bivouac and battle of Ligny (last napoleon victory)
- 00:30 : The bivouac of the 8eme de Ligne at Waterloo
- 00:41 : A short visit to the allied camp at Hougoumont
- 00:44 : The battle of Waterloo (first day)
- 1:07:36 : The battle of Waterloo (second day)

Very few music added, only the real sound of the battles (we were not in the range of the commentators/spectators sounds) and we fought mostly at the extreme right of the french lines, agains the prussiens.

This movie is a wonderful souvenir for my regiment comrades which where present during these days but gives also some interesting point of views for all other people interested ! Enjoy ...
