What was swapped following it's owner's death for the real one which had been mislaid earlier in his life. Where is it to be found.
Napoleon's death mask (or face mask)? - Les Invalides in Paris? Hazarding guesses here!

Negative - try the allies.
How about the lost leg of Henry William Paget, First Marquess of Anglesey, who's leg was blown off at Waterloo? Leg to be found in his grave?

That'll do me. Leg blown off at Waterloo, replaced by wooden one. After his death, bones of real leg exhumed from garden of Wellington's lodgings in Waterloo town (Now the Wellington Museum) and wooden leg donated to museum.
Well done Zofo!

Hi Zofo you smart a**e,
Good on yer mate,
I Like the quiz forum, but never having been in the Military, some of the questions are too technical for me.
Despite what the Webmaster says, I'm not devious, I just try to make my questions obscure by being devious!!!

Hi Derrick!
Not being in the military hasn't stopped you from producing hideously obtuse naval questions!
I'm still trying to work out the last one you put on! At least they stretch the brain - and indeed teach stuff too! Keep 'em coming and I'll try and think of some good general questions - not on the navy however, you see to know to much about that side of things!
Cheers,
Miles AKA Zofo
