The Wounded Eagle Monument (L'aigle blessé)

The bronze imperial eagle, gravely injured and carrying a French flag in its talons, is the work of sculptor Jean- Leon Gerome. It is dedicated to the last soldiers of Napoleon's Grand Army, and was erected in the spot where it is believed that the Imperial Guard formed a square for a last stand against the victorious Allies.
 

The Gordon Monument.

This monument was built in 1817 in the honour of lieutenant-colonel Gordon, by his family. This officer died in the head-quarters of Wellington, his leg having been blown off by a cannon ball. It consists of a fluted column on a square foot, resting on two stone steps and surrounded by an iron-grate, it stands on a mount, the height of which is that of the field before the construction of the Lion of Waterloo; access is given by a stone stair of 23 steps.

 

The Hannover Monument

Opposite of the Gordon Monument is the Hannover Monument, erected in honour of the Soldiers of the city of Hannover who fell in the battle of 1815.  In 1814 Hannove had been united again with the British crown which it stayed all during the reign of Queen Victoria.
