Description: In this Survive History video, Louee explains why soldiers wouldn't have slept much the night before the Battle of Waterloo. Soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars were used to miserable sleeping conditions, but even they found the night of June 17th particularly grim. In the pouring rain, with no food to be found, soldiers bedded down in the mud, using branches and straw to build rough shelters.
