French Claim on Waterloo Lion Tail Raises History Debate
An open Brussels letter from historian Barral to Rostand questions whether Mme Hovland holds papers about her grandfather that could clarify the 1832 Belgian campaign and the fate of the Waterloo Lion. Barral notes the Lion’s tail was altered, with a plaster model in Brussels showing a raised tail while the battlefield statue bears a drooping tail. He cites Belgian foundry records suggesting the original model had a higher tail and may have been recast or repositioned.
