1 Hotel of the Colonies Mont St-John, - It is there that Victor Huge has written his description of the battle of Waterloo

2 Hannovarian Monument, - It is an important capital for the study of at the topographics site. The base of the masonry marks the height of the earth which served for the retrenchment natural to the English army in 1815, - This slab which dominates thus the soil towards the French, was raised from 7 to 8 feet underneath the path which passes near the monument and consequently borders the battle was profoundly encased between two hills, - it was in this hollow way, that the head of the column of French cuirassiers directed against the English by marshal Ney was hidden.
The raising of the earth, to erect the bust of the Lion has destroyed the said slab, the result of which, in the present day, one understands no more the tragical valour of the position chosen by the English nor the cause of the catastrophe of the cuirassiers.

4 Farm of the Holy Hedge, - The principle front on the route from Brussels to Charleroy is the centre of the battle and the place of the principle efforts of the engaged armies. Several times they attacked, taking by turn this important position, a sort of temporary citadel at the foot of the slab occupied by the English, - there, in this place, the earth forms a valley running from West to East, there the most fearful part of the battle was fought, it was in this hollow that the train had produced a thick mud that stopped up the fresh batteries of the colonel Chandon coming to attack the position in arriere, and who were destroyed by the desperate charge from the English dragoons. It is there also that the Hanoverians were rushed, where perished the English general Ponsonby, and where at the end of the battle, the French regiments, decimated from marching guard went for the last time to the assault of the English position. In short, it is there also, that the English and the Prussians united in one decisive effort, fearing the arrival of Blucher coming down from the post that they occupied or driving back from before them towards Genappe the French army in full deroute about 9 o’clock in the evening.
