The breastplate of 19 years old cuirassier Antoine Fraveau, struck by a canonball. He was serving Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo

holy shit did he die?

well yeah, I would think so. I mean the battle of waterloo was fought on June 18, 1815. He’d be 219 years old by now.

Isn’t he living in Belgium now? Really old dude, missing a nipple and lung? Screaming about the damn Prussians?
