Tasks

Here are some of the tasks that we are working on. We could use your help.

• Find records of the veterans and casualties of the battle of Waterloo.

• Make profiles for each and every soldier and officer who served, whether French, English, Dutch, Prussian, Hanoverian, or Nassauer, etc.

• Connect these profiles to our ever-growing global tree.

• Categorise all these profiles under brigade, regiment, corps, country, etc.

• Finish the Orders of Battle.

Profile Quality

WikiTree standards are high, and we expect as much here.

Here are some examples of well-sourced profiles with well-written biographies:

• Dutch Profile: Johannes Hendrik Lux, Dutch Capt. of the Divisional Artillery in Chassé's 3rd. Neth. Div., later Maj. and Artillery Commander at the capture of Brielle, and later Lt-Col.
