Hougoumont Sitrep
May 7, 2015 - The Chairman in Chairman's Blog, Conversations with the General
Over the weekend Serjeant Gibson and I visited the battlefield and saw how the Hougoumont Farm is getting on. I must say it is beginning to look 
magnificent and will be marvellous to visit. The walls have been painted as you can see and the interiors are in pretty good shape too. There is still much to be done on the grounds before 17th June but I would be confident that this can be done provided the weather doesn’t play up. We were on the battlefield with a group from the Waterloo Association and we walked the battlefield in the rain (like the 17th June 1815!) but we saw much of the area and again the Mound area looked a bit behind the curve for the 18th June but everyone seemed very confident that all will be finished.
