FRIENDSHIP POSTCARD FRIDAY
Waterloo, the Lion, Belgium
The mound is 45 meters in height and there are 226 steps to the top. The lion which rests there was made there by Cockerill with the metal from all the cannons captured by the Allies. No my French isn't better, translation on back with comments by sender. The sheep look happy and content. Check out Maries blog for PFF http://www.cpaphilblog.com/

I think this is my first time at your blog. I also LOVE ephemera. I will be certain to look for you on eBay! Happy PFF
Nice postcard!
As an aside, this postcard reminds me of the Hugh Grant movie "The Englishman who went up a hill and came down a mountain" :)
Happy PFF!

Didn't exactly beat their swords into plowshares, did they? Odd (and somewhat metaphorical) to have a lion standing guard over sheep.
I really like this postcard because I am a nature lover. It's unique!
Waterloo! You know that because of my Napoleon obsession this one makes my heart flutter! That is so wild to have a canon made mound. Happy PFF!

Not something you could miss easily! I presume it's still there. I love postcards that show some history.
How fascinating! Thank you for sharing this postcard and its history.
