Napoleon in a red cloak mounted on a chestnut horse. The tack is simpler than in the original version, lacking the martingale, and the girth is grey-blue. There are traces of snow on the ground. Napoleon's features are sunken with the faint hint of a smile.

Plaque affixed on the façade of Saint-Jean-Baptiste's church of Wavre, Belgium, on the right of the entrance.
The plaque reads : 
Le 18 juin 1815, l'artillerie française bombarde les troupes prussiennes retranchées dans Wavre. 
Hommage aux victimes. 
Un boulet est encastré dans un pilier de l'église.

Translation 
On June 18, 1815, the French artillery bombarded the Prussian troops entrenched in Wavre. 
Tribute to the victims. 
A ball is embedded in a pillar of the church.

Although Napoleone Buonaparte had already fled the main battlefield before dark on that memorable 18 June 1815, without bothering to concede defeat for fear of the treatment he knew he would receive from Feldmarschall Blücher, the fight went on to the South and East of Waterloo, like here in and around Wavre where the Prussian army was stationned since their arrival by mid-June.  
The remains of the French army still in fighting order bombarded the town and its inhabitants, before being repelled by Lieutenant-General Johann von Thielmann (1765-1824) and driven back to France.  
Rare are the thoughts spared for the civilian victims of the napoléonic régime, all over Europe.

Equally rare are the thoughts spared for the helpless troops too commonly used as ammunition.

Plaque affixed at the entrance of the parish church of Braine-l'Alleud. 
(FR) Cette église servit d'hopital au lendemain de la bataille du 18 juin 1815.  Charitablement les Brainois vinrent en aide aux blessés. 
(EN) This church served as a hospital the day after the battle of June 18, 1815. Charitably, the people of Braine-l'Alleud came to the aid of the wounded. 
(DE) Diese Kirche diente am Tag nach der Schlacht vom 18. Juni 1815 als Krankenhaus. Wohltätig kam das Volk von Braine-l'Alleud den Verwundeten zu Hilfe. 

Excerpt of Cotton, Edward, A Voice from Waterloo (...), 5th edit., 1854, Chapter IX, 137. 

The field of battle, after the victory, presented a frightful and most distressing spectacle. (...) Solicitude for the wounded prompted the Duke to ride back to Brussels immediately after the sanguinary contest.  The assistance of the town authorities was requested, in collecting and removing the wounded from the field, burying the dead, etc., as well as to restore confidence amongst the population, and allay the extreme excitement which prevailed throughout Belgium.  Right nobly did the inhabitants of Brussels repond to his appeal.  The clergy, as might have been expected, were foremost in their exertions to relieve the dreadful agonies of so many gallant and innocent sufferers : the highest in rank rivalled the hardier classes in performing the most trying offices for the mangled heroes that filled the hospitals, and encumbered even many private dwellings. (...)
