Vice-Captain Clive hands over the Water l'Eau Trophy to Bart after the trouncing of the Musketeers by the Pallanne team.

It is 200 years since the original battle of Waterloo. On the 18th of June, 1815, the armies of Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington met near Waterloo (in present day Belgium). The ensuing battle came to be a defining moment in European history, and the end of Napoleon’s reign as Emperor of the French. Wellington put the boot in and Napoleon was defeated. The legacy of Waterloo was decades of peace in Europe and the end of the Napoleonic era. In Britain, Waterloo is still part of the fabric of daily life, with a train station, streets, pubs and parks named after the battle.

And so it was that six years ago the largely British contingent of Musketeers decided to do battle with the largely French contingent of Pallanne. But rather than rub salt in old wounds the competition was renamed Water l'Eau. (Clever, yet simple at the same time don't you think?). Over the past six years the trophy has gone one way then the other. In this the bi-centenary year it was won quite comfortably by the Pallanne team. Had Napoleon's army fought as gallantly and as determinedly as the Pallanne team, perhaps the course of European history would have been different. You never know, Brits might well have learned to speak French!

Well done Pallanne. We'll be back

Answer:

Napoleon rose through the ranks of the French army during the French Revolution, seized control of the French government in 1799 and became emperor in 1804. ... The Battle of Waterloo, in which Napoleon's forces were defeated by the British and Prussians, marked the end of his reign and of France's domination in Europe.
