18 June 1815 – Waterloo – Saint Joseph's church, first commemorative tablets

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 18 June 1815 – Waterloo – Saint Joseph's church, first commemorative tablets.

The Plate DD, by James Rouse, 1816, from An Historical Account of the Campaign in the Netherlands, in 1815, under His Grace the Duke of Wellington, and Marshal Prince Blucher, comprising the battles of Ligny, Quatrebras, and Waterloo; (...), by Mudford, William (1817), depicts a first two commemorative tablets then affixed in the Rotunda of Saint Joseph's of Waterloo, namely, on the left : ►(File:18 June 1815 – Waterloo – St Joseph's Church, Tablet Right, 1.jpg), on the right : ►(File:18 June 1815 – Waterloo – St Joseph's Church, Tablet Left, 8.jpg) – both also mentioned by Campbell (1817).

Many more were soon added, as a 1824 anonymous etching shows (which doesn't enable to identify any of them) : ►(File:18 June 1815 – Waterloo – Saint Joseph's church, nave, 1824.jpg).

These two tablets, depicted oversize but easily recognizable, have been moved further inside the church, either in 1824 upon completion of the nave, or ca. 1855 when two aisles were added to the nave. Indeed, early 1860's, Tarlier & Wauters (1864) describe in extenso a whole 27 tablets, e.g. ►(File:18 June 1815 – Waterloo – St Joseph's Church, Tablet Left, 1.jpg), sqq.

Today, the Tablets to the British and Dutch Victims fallen at Waterloo have been rearranged in a less suitable order, crammed in the corners of the ailes, some at ground level, all behind rows of chairs.
