Nice rendition of Over the Hills and far away at the start.
Phil is a world treasure, so much passion and knowledge in one person!😎👍
Great to see Phil at his best and telling the story.
So great to see Phil Harding again, hope to see him once more in Time Team, his knowledge and sense of humour are missed. Come Bach Phil we all miss you.
Where would a dig be without Phil!!!
So good to see Phil. Been missing him on Time Team.
Hearing Phil laugh makes it all worth it.
Peter Ginn AND Phil Harding?! Amazing! Why am I just finding this? (so much chaos, squared, so much archeology)
Love that they do this for veterans, I wish they would do that in the USA. Also, love seeing Phil Harding
I love Phil, it would be my dream to work with him on a site!
Peter Ginn and Phil Harding! Some of my favorite Brits!
seeing phil talk about a piece of his soul brings a genuine tear to my eye. both time team and the work Fonz and company have done have meant so much to my mental health its unreal. i cannot thank you all enough.
Phil is the man. I miss him on the new Time Team. But, he's been writing I guess. At least he was after Waterloo. His back may have him sidelined.
@@jaspersjoint7433 he's done digging. His back is fried. He's earned the elder statesman role. But keep your eye on this channel. He makes quite a few appearances on here.
and still rocking the cut off shorts
@@allyde5603 makes me miss Mick Astons jumpers now that you mention it.
Agreed loved seeing Phil and very found memories of TIME TEAM
Love seeing Phil he is the 🐐 of time team. And Peter was so good in the series with Ruth about living in different time periods. Peter you silver 🦊
Phil Harding ❤❤❤❤
Phil and time team paved the way for peter and ruth and their team and now its come together in a beautiful synergy. god i love british archaeology.
And Alex was on a few of the last episodes of TT
@@annazaman9657 oh yeah I forgot about that but he took over for Stewart for a few didn't he?
Military and Archeologists on a battlefield. What a magnificent combination.
Superficial fan-girl 😂
Looking good Phil!
❤ Good to see you out & about.
Part 1 and Part 2 so, so interesting. Excellent work. Well apprreciated..... More please...
Thanks. Phil is the best. All British you know old Phil. Just ask him.
❤ that's cheered me up. 2 of my top blokes. Nice to see fonz has had the decency to go grey. Welcome to the club😊😊😊
Phil! Great to see him and Peter ❤
Really interesting glimpse into last year's excavations of this fascinating and very valuable project, presented so well and so enthusiastically by Peter, Phil and the team. Peter should be on our screens far more often, not only is he easy on the eye, but he's such an engaging presenter with a great skill of bringing history to life & making it enjoyable.
4:13 Phil just described marriage! People busting their butts to get in, others doing the same trying to get out!
Phils fashion reminds me of a Aussie farmer.
Gutted that my hip replacement clashed with the trip this year guys. Keep up the good work and I'll see those involved in the online course over winter.
I love the song you had for the intro and ending. I loved watching the Sharpe series and reading the books. Now to get Sean Bean to do some archaeology there!!!
Great to see real archeologists at work uncovering the facts of these eventful days at the end of June 1815. On UA-cam I also found "archeologists/historians" listing "fact" explaining the absence of human remains. This varies from the "1815 peasantry" burning bodies on an industrial scale to the "current locals" "being uncooperative" in supporting archeological work to uncover the dead. Developers are accused of "disturbing the field of honour" so that "evidence" will be lost forever. Fact of the matter is that there are no substantial remains left: more than 25000 tons of bones (human/horses) from Napoleonic battlefields were imported through the port of Hull to be processed into fertilizer. I am glad to see that this professional team is aiming for the "real facts", keep up the good work!
At 16:18 Cornelius and Peter (Fonz) are discussing the site their digging and Cornelius says they think it's a Chapel site. I know they aren't referring to the Hougoumont chapel because that was one of the only buildings to survive, but where is the location they are digging, just out of interests sake ? I've not heard or read anything about another chapel being near Hougoumont. Also, I can't remember which book I read this from but I remember it stating that the building Phil and Peter are talking about at the beginning was a stable of some sorts and that it burned fiercely for some time and some of the dead were thrown into the building for cremation, if I remember rightly, that could have been the next day, so the 19th of June 1815. I can't get enough of the Waterloo story, been fascinated by it for at least 30+ years now 😵 cheers for any response and keep up the bloody damn good work 👍🏼
The chapel site is to the south of Hougoumont farm, and is shown on the 1777 Ferraris map, indicated by the small red rectangle with a cross on the top: maps.arcanum.com/en/map/belgium-1777/?layers=37&bbox=486958.2286975623%2C6562320.280524304%2C491616.4861299337%2C6564298.769499216. There's also a higher res version of the map to explore here: www.kbr.be/en/the-ferraris-map/. Hougoumont is in square 78 (Braine-l'Alleud).
@@WaterlooUncovered Wow, thank you so much for the links, the Ferraris map is a thing of beauty, the level of detail, mind blowing. I'm going to study those with great pleasure.
Bloody hell it was like getting blood out of a stone with the detectorists
Thats why they are stuck out in a field by themselves all day long😂
So to re cap what you've discovered all these years on is that the Coldstream guards used slightly better button thread than the Scots guards did. Well I personally am extremely happy youve cleared that up, its been keeping me awake for years worrying about who had the better tailors.
Brilliant work lads and ladies! Loving it...
Fonz? Now how in the world did you pick that nick-name? Great seeing you again Mr. Ginn. Will Ruth or Tom be joining you? Now that would be nice.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who's the wonderful singer in this video? They should be credited, and I want to hear more of her songs!
I want to know too - it's a pity not to credit her. Eliza Carthy?
@@markiliff the singer sounds Northern, but I don't think it's Eliza, though I know her dad recorded that song.
@@fingal42 You are probably right. Still want to know tho!
You're completely right, I can't believe I forgot to credit her! I'll edit that in to the description now. The singer is Rebecca Hearne, who came out in 2018 as a volunteer while doing her PhD project on veteran recovery and archaeology. She sang three songs for us in the chapel at Hougoumont which has wonderful acoustics. You can listen to them all here: soundcloud.com/rebecca-l-hearne
@@WaterlooUncovered Thank you. What a gorgeous set of songs!
Very interesting at 18:00 seeing a ridge that was where the French was lined up along and the depth of the valley. And give your digging crew long handled shovels and spades to save back problems picking up while bending over
King German Legion ,Hanoverians, Nassau , Belgians, Dutch , Brunswickers , Scots , Welsh ,Irish all fought under Wellington
9:30 Re-doing the door trip after the camera relocation = #dedication
Didn't they take the battle sight to make The lions mound?
Metal decting in a farm field that was WOODS I would think most bullets are or where in the trees.
I was wondering what had happened to phil good to see hes ok im into the Napoleonic era too but my main area of interest is ww2
You all probably think it is the English lion on that monument, but its the Dutch luon.
Who sings that version ??

25 minutes of Men talking.
ex scots guards men do not exist, former or old guards do. There are no ex military, just former or retired or old,
once a military woman or man, always military woman or man.
Greetings, a former royal netherlands navy sargeant comms
My God he has let himself go...phil looks younger than him
A lot of talking and not much doing . Very informative though
Wont find much..they corpses was all dug up for fertilizer back in the 1820s.
Boring.
Not as boring as your comment
