Hello Bernard,
Recently returning from Germany, I skirted around Belgium and called by to see the Lion Mound, a place where I visited some 20 years ago. I found that the site stills exists as scruffy and run down as it did then. My main reason for the visit was to see Hougoumont to see if it was in such a bad state as I had heard and sadly it was. Roof’s broken and walls crumbling how have we left it to fall into such a bad state. It deserves better remembrance than just an old plaque in the memory of the 2nd footguards. We as a nation must do something, return it to its 1815 condition and give it some atmosphere for all to visit and respect!
Kind regards,
Richard Adams
