Battle over cannons of Waterloo

Battle lines have been drawn between the Mizoram unit of the Indian National Trust for Art and Natural Heritage (INTACH) and the Assam Rifles over possession of two cannons which were used in the battle of Waterloo in 1815, reports PTI.

The Mizoram unit of INTACH said that the two pieces of artillery displayed at the Assam Rifles battalion headquarters since 1892 were taken away in 2003 by their custodian, the First battalion of AR, to Tuensang in Nagaland.

Shakespeare, in his book ‘The Making of Aijal’ (as Aizawl was known in those days) published in 1939 wrote that the cannons were among those used by the Duke of Wellington’s troops which were part of the combined armies of the Seventh Coalition to defeat French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in the battle of Waterloo. He wrote that they were part of armament of a Burma-bound warship that was docked in the Chittagong Port (now in Bangladesh) in 1857.
