TIL of Henry Paget, Earl of Uxbridge, who had his leg blown off by a cannon in the Battle of Waterloo. It was put in a shrine in the garden of the house where he was amputated, becoming a local tourist attraction. en.wikipedia.org Submitted by 1945BestYear t3_y1n7br on October 11, 2022 at 11:02 PM in todayilearned 17 comments 418
