Last Friday 14 June at the cavalry monument near the crossroads of Quatre Bras the annual official military commemoration was held in honour of the Dutch-Belgian fallen and wounded in the cavalry regiments in 1815. In his speech the chairman of the 'Stichting Cavaleriemonument Quatre Bras / Waterloo' their comrades in the infantry and artillery were not forgotten. It was an exceptional commemoration where representatives of current regiments of both the Dutch army and the Belgian army tracing back their proud history to the 1815 regiments attended and paid hommage to comrades of the past.
