There is a Waterloo reenactment on the site every year(I think). Guy I know has a friend who goes there every time, has his own uniform, musket, etc. Says it's a lot of fun.
Speaking of Napoleon - French military museum in Paris, the one next to the Invalides has rooms-full of Napoleonic memorabilia and historical documents; strangely, the part devoted to the Russian campaign is remarkably slim...I guess you can figure out why.
I have a silver medal from the 1812 war with Alexander's profile on on the avers and revers with rays of sunlight emanating from a masonic eye, which I got from La Salle Druot.
