WHO WON WATERLOO?
The Battle of Waterloo, of which the site is in danger of being built upon, is generally supposed to have occurred on 18th June, 1815. It is commonly thought, too, thafc Wellington and Blucher were the most important factors in the victory, but visitors to Java find both these beliefs rudely shaken. A monument at Batavia bears the inscription: "To the perpetual memory of that most famous day, 20th June, 1816, on which, by the resolution and activity of the Belgians, and their famous Genera^ William Frederic George Ludovic, Prince of Luxemburg, after a terrible conflict on the plains of Waterloo, when the battalions of the French had been routed on every side, the peace of the world dawned once more."
