The skeleton of a soldier killed in the Battle of Waterloo, is pictured at the site where the bones were found, in this handout photo taken June 5, 2012. The skeleton of the victim, probably British and with the initials C.B., has finally surfaced two centuries after he was shot in the chest during the battle in a find unrivalled in more than a century. C.B. might have remained a few hundred metres behind the British and allied front line beside a field of wheat for centuries more, were it not for plans to build a car park in time for the 200th anniversary of the battle in 2015. The Battle of Waterloo, fought on June 18, 1815, marked the final defeat of French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte to a coalition of forces under Britain’s Duke of Wellington and Gebhard von Bluecher’s Prussian army.
