About Waterloo Uncovered
Waterloo Uncovered is the ground-breaking charity combining world-class archaeology with veteran wellbeing and recovery through discovery of the Battle of Waterloo. Their varied programmes enable beneficiaries to engage in meaningful archaeological activity, as they uncover, discover and recover.
Their beneficiary support is changing lives, improving wellbeing, whilst developing transferable skills. Their discoveries are changing understanding of conflict, uncovering physical evidence of those who fought and died at the Battle of Waterloo.
Their education activities share our knowledge and research, linking conflicts past to conflicts present and demonstrating the impact of war. Waterloo Uncovered aims to understand war and its impact on people - and to educate the public about it.
