11am (or 1130) #OnThisDay French Artillery opened fire, signalling the start of the #BattleofWaterloo Fighting broke out to the west side of the field, towards #Hougoumont. It grew to a huge storm of fighting, though was only meant to be a distraction.

Ooh, this is very cool. Spot the role of the farmhouse at #Hougoumont bottom left as a crucial forward position throughout the battle. Wait for Blucher's army arriving stage right, just in the nick of time.
