The cataclysmic Battle of Waterloo of June 18, 1815, decisively ended the Napoleonic Wars and indeed, centuries of unending war between Britain and France.

The French Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte, arguably one of history's greatest captains, saw his career ended by the combined efforts of the Duke of Wellington's British-German-Netherlands Allied Army and Marshal Blücher's Prussian Army.

The battle also saw the tragic death of Pembrokeshire's General Sir Thomas Picton, who was killed at the head of his troops while leading a counter-attack against the French army.

Many other men from Pembrokeshire, including some from Narberth, also served at Waterloo and at least one survived to live a long and fruitful life within the town, being finally buried in St. Andrew's churchyard.

In commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, Narberth Museum will on Thursday, June 18, be presenting 'The Battle of Waterloo in Miniature' at Narberth Museum.

The 'battle' (produced by the team also responsible for 'The Battle of Fishguard in Miniature') features a large model of the battlefield, populated by thousands of hand-painted pewter figures, each standing only 18mm tall.

However, this is not just a static museum model. The key stages of the battle will be wargamed by a team of 'armchair-generals' in an attempt to either re-create or change history (depending on their loyalties). Will Napoleon's French Army be able to change history, smashing Wellington's line and marching on Brussels? Or will Wellington's Allied army repeat history, holding the line long enough for Blücher's Prussians to attack Napoleon's flank?

To find out, come and see The Battle of Waterloo in Miniature at Narberth Museum on Thursday, June 18. Normal museum admission charges apply.
