Napoleon Bonaparte’s bicorn hat, abandoned on June the18th, 1815, during his frantic retreat from the Battle of Waterloo to avoid capture by Prussian Fusiliers. It was always worn “en bataille”, so his men could always see him, with the red, white and blue cockade pinned to the brim as a symbol of the 1789-1799 revolution that led to the ambitious Corsican crowning himself Emperor in 1804.
