Overall view of the stele : File:18_June_1815_–_Waterloo_–_27th_(Inniskilling)_Regiment_of_Foot,_stele.jpg

Lamentably, the monument was overthrown in 2010, but soon re-erected, only to be again and similarly vandalized at the end of 2011, but again straightened up early 2012.
The stele to Major General Thomas Picton, a few meters away across the street, was similarly overthrown at the beginning of 2011, face against the ground, but duly re-erected a few months later.
None suffered any damage.

To the eternal shame of the culprits.
