Just been trailed that the next episode of Digging For Britain, BBC2, Tues 9th Jan, will include a piece on 'Waterloo's Disappearing Dead', investigating whether or not there is any substance in rumours surrounding the lack of graves for the casualties (c20000 of them) from the site of the Battle at Waterloo.

I've always said that if 'Time Team' had been on telly when I was 14, I would have become an archaeologist.

You could have made a career like Alice Roberts has done by being on your knees in front of Tony Robinson

we all know about "teeth robbing " made a change from "wearing dead man's shoes " but that's water under the bridge

I must admit that the prospect of squatting in a trench with numerous female students all day and then going to the boozer all night was part of the attraction lol

Sorry Wilts I missed this post, thank you, I do know that after the battle a mob of peasants descended on the dead and stripped and recycled the clothing and pulled any good teeth for sale to Dentists, Victor Hugo stayed at a stately home near Doncaster and commented that the Land owner bought several hundred bushels of bones from the mass graves at Waterloo Austerlitz and Leipzig, human and horse these were ground to powder in a Bone mill at Marshgate and ploughed into the local soil, it would seem we are all Cannibal of a sort!
