A nice implementation of a technique we have seen before - the clues were fairly tough but became easier once the theme and symmetry became apparent.
Thanks, Opsimath....
We have no idea about what the quotation is but that didn't stand in the way of completing the grid.
Perhaps too many easy clues for a Listener.
Thanks, tnap....
What a splendid puzzle - a worthy commemoration for Waterloo.
Easy (for sure) but lots of fun, involving some cute lateral thinking by the setter.
Very neatly done indeed....

I thought this was brilliant. Not quite as tough as it looked at first sight, although a lucky early guess at the theme helped. It all came together very neatly and the final step was beautifully...

Well- halfway stage for me. An seemingly impenetrable grid fill has finally fallen into place and I have four spare words to play with but not a lot of idea of what happens next. Hmmm
