Battle of Waterloo: what happened to the bodies?
18 June 1815. Napolean's troops were defeated at Waterloo. Two hundred years later, only a few skeletons and scattered bones have been found out of 20,000 dead bodies. Historians suggest that the missing human remains were used by the local sugar industry.
Report by André Bernard for the Radio Canada magazine programme "Découverte".

Presented by: Dominique Laresche
