A charity which brings together wounded and serving members of the military with leading archaeologists, has begun a new historical dig at the site of the battle of Waterloo in Belgium.

This project is brilliant on many levels. It's great therapy for wounded servivemen and their military experience adds to the interpretation of the site

This is great. Hire more veterans and current military personnel. This is great for the wounded because they can heal from this despite those who have been injured physically. It builds their skills for future job and they will have more opportunities. Heal their emotional wounds instead of staying home, getting welfare check and numbing themselves with drugs or alcohol.
