PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. ------- Time does not diminish the interest of Waterloo, for that combat of giants is indissolubly connected with Napoleon—the greatest master of the art of war the world has ever known. Since the publication of my ROLL CALL in 1890, I have received much additional information from the relatives of Waterloo officers. This has enabled me to bring out the present revised and enlarged edition. And I wish particularly to mention that many of the obituary notices of Waterloo officers given in the following pages were collected by the late Mr. J.W. O’Brien, of the British Museum Library (formerly in the ranks of the 4th Dragoon Guards), whose annotated copy of the ROLL CALL came into my possession by purchase. Mr. O’Brien’s researches were not made at my instigation or wish, but having been made, and brought to my notice, I thought it advisable to secure and utilise this copy of my book containing the aforesaid MS. entries. A special feature of the Second Edition is the list of non-commissioned officers and men (given in Part III.) who served at Waterloo, and subsequently received commissions in the British army.

Never since the days of Oliver Cromwell had any name caused so much fear in England as did that of Napoleon Bonaparte. From 1802 until his first downfall, in 1814, a spirit of alarm and uneasiness pervaded all classes in Great Britain, from the King and his Ministers down to the most illiterate peasant. Those who were witnesses of, and participators in, this panic have now passed away, but the national pride which our victory over Napoleon at Waterloo excited in every Briton’s breast is as strong as ever, and will last till the crack of doom. In July, 1803, a little pamphlet, entitled _Important Considerations for the People of this Kingdom_, was published in London, and “sent to the officiating minister of every parish in England.” This pamphlet, which bears the Royal Arms of England, was an appeal from the Government to the Nation, and a diatribe against Napoleon. Mark the closing lines of this appeal: “Shall we, who are abundantly supplied with iron and steel, powder and lead—shall we, who have a fleet superior to the maritime force of all the world, and who are able to bring two millions of fighting men into the field—shall we yield up this dear and happy land, together with all the liberties and honours, to preserve which our fathers so often dyed the land and the sea with their blood?... No, we are not so miserably fallen; we cannot, in so short a space of time, have become so detestably degenerate; we have the strength and the will to repel the hostility, to chastise the insolence of the foe. Mighty, indeed, must be our efforts, but mighty also is the need.” The idea of a French invasion was slow in forcing its way into the minds of the uneducated classes in England. When they first heard of such a possibility they thought it of no more consequence than the invasion of Scotland by Charles Edward Stuart with a mere handful of Frenchmen at his back. They also thought less of the projected descent from having heard so much in 1797, and during the Rebellion in Ireland in 1798, of a French army coming to the relief of the National party in that kingdom:— “For the French are on the sea, Says the Shan Van Vaugh, And Ireland will soon be free, Says the Shan Van Vaugh.” And yet nothing had come of all this talk! But when the nation at large had fully grasped the possibility of a Napoleonic invasion, Pitt had no difficulty in raising the sinews of war. No fewer than 300,000 men enrolled themselves in volunteer corps and defence associations. The army and navy were increased, and everything was done that was possible to counteract the power of that wonderful man, who, in the short space of a few years, had, speaking metaphorically, built a Great Wall of China round the British Isles, shutting the English out of the commerce of Europe. Our preparations were none too soon. In 1805 the battle of Austerlitz established the supremacy of Napoleon over Austria and Russia. Fortunately for England, Nelson’s crowning victory at Trafalgar indefinitely postponed Napoleon’s invasion scheme; but we were still engaged in a gigantic war, single-handed, with half of Europe our declared, and the other half our enforced, enemies. Nelson was dead; Pitt was dying from the weight of anxieties which pressed upon him in this tremendous crisis; Hanover had been taken from us. The outlook was very gloomy, and affairs became more complicated in 1807, when the military expeditions, arranged by Lord Grenville’s ministry, against Constantinople and Egypt, had turned out failures, and resulted in the Turks declaring war against us and confiscating all British property. And yet in 1807 Napoleon had not yet reached the zenith of his power. For the next five years he held the destinies of nearly the whole of Europe in his own hands. Monarchies of long standing were disestablished and new kingdoms—Napoleonic kingdoms—were raised up in their place. Immense French armies traversed Europe from Portugal to the heart of Russia, and every capital within that limit was, in its turn, subjugated to the French yoke. But in 1808 two British Generals stemmed the tide of French conquest in the Peninsula, viz., Sir John Moore and Sir Arthur Wellesley. The first met a soldier’s death at Corunna, and the latter was superseded by an incapable commander. But the British Government soon found that they had made a grievous mistake, and Wellesley was again entrusted with the supreme command in Portugal. Then commenced that series of brilliant campaigns which liberated Portugal and Spain from the Napoleonic grasp, and only ceased after the battle of Toulouse by Napoleon’s abdication at Fontainebleau. In the spring of 1814 England had a large army, composed for the most part of seasoned veterans, who were fit for anything and worth millions. When war broke out again, in the spring of 1815, at least half of the Peninsular army had been disbanded—dispersed—and not to be had at any price. Some of the best of the old Peninsular regiments had been sent to America in 1814, and several of them—the gallant 43rd Light Infantry being one—did not reach Waterloo in time to take part in the battle. Raw levies took their place, and foreign auxiliaries helped to bring up Wellington’s army in Flanders to the required strength. Of Wellington’s 106,000 barely one-third were British. The remainder consisted of “King’s German Legion,” “Hanoverian Levies,” “Brunswick Contingent,” “Nassau Contingent,” “Dutch and Belgian Troops,” and “Nassauers in Dutch service.” Of this polyglot force the German Legion, both cavalry and infantry, were deserving of the highest praise for their conduct on Waterloo Day. They formed part of the British army for nearly a dozen years, and many British officers held commissions in the “Legion.” I have been obliged to leave out the German Legion officers in the following ROLL CALL (excepting those who served on the Staff), and it would be invidious, when all did so well, to pick out the British officers who served in the “Legion” at Waterloo and record their services when those of their German brother-officers are omitted. I cannot even make an exception of Colonel (afterwards Baron) Hugh Halkett, who, like a knight in the olden days of chivalry, singled out a French general (Cambronne) in single combat, and took him prisoner. The Hanoverian levies did well also, excepting one regiment, which refused to charge the French when commanded so to do. And this was doubtless owing to the _lâcheté_ of their colonel, who, when ordered to lead his regiment to the charge, declined to do so, saying he had no confidence in his men. It is related that Captain Horace Seymour, who had brought this officer Lord Uxbridge’s orders, addressed “a few words of plain Saxon” to him, “which no gentleman ought to have listened to unmoved,” but the only effect they had on the Hanoverian was to hasten his departure to the rear. The Brunswick Contingent fought at a disadvantage at Waterloo, having lost their brave leader (the Duke of Brunswick) at Quatre Bras. Of the Nassau, Dutch, and Belgian troops it is only fair to say that they were, mostly, utterly useless at Waterloo. The glamour of Napoleon was upon them. They had lately been in his service, and had a settled conviction that Wellington would be defeated and his army cut to pieces. “Come over to us, brave Belgians!” shouted a French regiment at Waterloo to their Belgian opponents in the battle. But the “brave Belgians” preferred making “a retrograde movement for strategical reasons,” and retired from the field, carrying news of Wellington’s defeat to Brussels. Now for Napoleon’s army: This consisted on the 15th of June of about 128,000 men[A]—mostly veterans who had served in many campaigns, and to whom defeat was rare. Add to this, that they all belonged to one nation, and were all equally devoted to their beloved emperor. “No army,” says Colonel Chesney, in his _Waterloo Lecture_, “was probably ever so well furnished with leaders as his, as none had ever the like experience wherewith to train them.” It is no slight to Wellington to say that Napoleon was, for rapid and offensive warfare, by far the first general of his day. In defensive warfare Wellington was much in advance of his great rival. Taking the words out of Philip the Second’s mouth, Wellington might have with truth said, “Time and I against any other two.” Once more: Wellington himself told Earl Stanhope that he considered the presence of Napoleon with the French army at Waterloo fully equivalent to an additional force of 30,000 men! Now this was the total of the force sent under Marshal Grouchy, on the 17th June, to follow the Prussian army, which had been defeated at Ligny by Napoleon on the previous day, and which was supposed to be in full retreat on Namur and Liége, so that, in round numbers, Napoleon was himself considered equal to a whole army corps! If the British had a Picton, the French had a Ney, who was considered almost Napoleon’s equal in handling troops in the field, and who had pressed us so sorely at Quatre Bras, on the 16th of June, when only half our army had arrived at that position. Then as a leader of cavalry Lord Uxbridge was well matched by Kellermann, whose fame as a cavalry general dated from Marengo. And General Mouton (Count Lobau) was an infantry leader of whom any army might have been proud. It was he who, at the head of the Imperial Foot Guards, had wrested the victory from the Prussians on the bloody field of Lützen, in 1813, and saved the French army from a reverse. Enough has now been said to show what a splendid army the British had opposed to them on the 18th of June, 1815. “I have them at last, these English!” exclaimed Napoleon, in a transport of joy, early in the morning of that day, when he saw our army drawn up in position, with their backs to the forest of Soignies. But he underrated Wellington’s generalship, nor could he foresee how the British generals, officers, and men of all ranks would fight that memorable day, when the eyes of all Europe were upon them, because upon the issue of that contest depended the fate of empires and kingdoms, as well as the future peace of the world. And knowing, as we all do, what glory the victory at Waterloo brought to our countrymen and our country, we must be generous enough to give the brave Prussians the full share due to them for their co-operation on that day. Had it not been for them, Waterloo would have been as barren a victory as Borodino, and Napoleon would have retreated in as good order, probably, as Blucher was able to do after his defeat at Ligny. As it was, our troops bore the whole brunt of the battle without losing an inch of ground, and the arrival of the Prussians, at the close of the day, sealed the fate of Napoleon.[B] Footnote A: Lord Wolseley, in his _Decline and Fall of Napoleon_, says the French army consisted of about 123,000 men of all arms and 344 guns.—ED. * * * * * In offering this, the first annotated Waterloo Army List, to the British public, I must ask their indulgence for any omissions and errors it may contain. Although I have spared no trouble in the matter, there must be, I well know, a few names of British Waterloo officers who have escaped my notice. But when the following list is compared with the very defective lists given by Siborne and George Jones (the foundation of all other lists), I think the following ROLL CALL will be found infinitely more trustworthy. I have also added the regimental and army commissions of the Waterloo officers up to the date of the battle, and the honours and promotions bestowed after Waterloo. The war services of _many_ of these same officers now appear in print for the first time, and are not to be found in the _Military Calendar_ of field officers which was published in 1820, nor in Hart’s _Army Lists_, which date from 1840, and are such valuable works of reference. Of course, a large proportion of the names I have annotated, genealogically, are names of well-known families of the present time, but there are also many names in the following ROLL CALL which belong to families that are now extinct or lost sight of. I have endeavoured to rescue as many names from oblivion as time would allow, but there are a certain number of whom I can give no information beyond their obituary notices: “Here lies Pat Steele. That’s very true. Who was he? What was he? What’s that to you?” As regards the orthography of the names in the regimental lists, I am not responsible, as they are copied from the “official” _Army List_. The same rule applies to the precedence of the different regiments. I am indebted to Colonel F.A. Whinyates, late R.H.A., for some interesting information regarding artillery officers, and to George Tancred, Esq., late captain Scots Greys, for the Waterloo muster-roll and some memoranda relating to the Scots Greys.

Arthur, Duke of WELLINGTON, K.G., G.C.B., &c. Born in Dublin, 1st May, 1769. 3rd son of Garrett, 1st Earl of Mornington, by Anne, eldest dau. of Arthur (Hill), 1st Viscount Dungannon. Educated at Eton and Angers Military Academy. Like Clive, he was “a heaven-born general.” His fame far exceeded the many titles he won by his genius. “I am going to dine with Wellington to-night,” said a young Irish staff officer to a group of brother officers at the close of a hard-fought battle in Spain. “Give me at least the prefix of Mr. before my name,” said Lord Wellington, who happened to ride by at the moment and had overheard the jubilant remark. “My Lord,” replied the officer, “we do not speak of Mr. Cæsar, or Mr. Alexander, so why should I speak of Mr. Wellington?” The Duke d. at Walmer Castle, 14th Sept., 1852, and was buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral. He had m., in 1806, the Hon. Catherine Pakenham, 3rd dau. of Edward, 2nd Lord Longford, and by her, who d. in 1831, left issue. MILITARY SECRETARY. Lt.-Col. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, 1st Ft. Gds., W. Youngest son of Henry, 5th Duke of Beaufort. Was Wellington’s A.D.C. and “right hand” throughout the campaign in Spain and Portugal. Lost his right arm at Waterloo, from a shot fired from the top of La Haye Sainte farmhouse after its capture by the French. Created Baron Raglan a month after Wellington’s death. F.-M. and C.-in-C. of the British army in the Crimea in Nov., 1854. D. in the Crimea during the siege of Sebastopol, at a farmhouse overlooking the plains of Balaklava. In the principal room is still to be seen a marble slab with the inscription, “In this room died F.-M. Lord Raglan, G.C.B., Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in the Crimea, 28th June, 1855.” Lord Raglan’s body was brought to England and interred at Badminton with his ancestors. He had m., in 1814, Lady Emily Harriet Wellesley-Pole, 2nd dau of Wm., 3rd Earl of Mornington, and by her, who d. 1881, left issue. AIDES-DE-CAMP. Lt.-Col. J. Fremantle, 2nd Ft. Gds. (1st Batt.) Served as A.D.C. to Wellington at Vittoria, and brought home the despatch. Eldest son of Col. Stephen Fremantle, by Albinia, dau. of Sir John Jeffrys, Bart.; C.B. M., 17th Feb., 1829, Agnes, 3rd dau. of David Lyon. Died a maj.-gen. on ret. list. Lt.-Col. C.F. Canning, 3rd Ft. Gds., K. 3rd son of Stratford Canning, by Mehetabel Patrick, of Summerhill, Dublin, and brother of the subsequently celebrated diplomatist, Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe. Had acted as A.D.C. to Wellington in the Pa., and it was by the former’s special request that the Duke took him again on his personal staff just before Waterloo. “Dying lamented CANNING lay, On MARCH he wistful gaz’d. ‘How fares the Duke?’ ‘How goes the day?’ ‘All well’—his head he raised.” Lt.-Col. Hon. Sir Alexander Gordon, K.C.B., 3rd Ft. Gds., K. It is said that when Wellington was roused from sleep by Dr. Hume early on the morning after Waterloo and told that Gordon had died from the effect of his wounds, he burst into tears. Alex. Wm. Gordon was 3rd son of George, Lord Haddo, by Charlotte, youngest daughter of Wm. Baird, of Newbyth. He had served as A.D.C. to his uncle, Sir David Baird, at the capture of the Cape of Good Hope and in several subsequent campaigns. Lt. Lord George Lennox, 9th Lt.

He is the identical “Capt. Trevanion” in Charles Lever’s _Harry Lorrequer_, who was grossly insulted by a French officer—a noted bully—at a restaurant in Paris a few weeks after Waterloo. After repeated insults the French bully ordered a glass of brandy, and, whilst sitting just opposite Trevanion, drank it off, saying, in a loud voice that could be heard all over the café, “A votre courage, Anglais.” “Trevanion slowly rose from his chair, displaying to the astonished Frenchman the immense proportions and gigantic frame of a man well known as the largest officer in the British Army. With one stride he was beside the chair of the Frenchman, and with the speed of lightning, he seized his nose by one hand while with the other he grasped his lower jaw, and, wrenching open his mouth with the strength of an ogre, he spat down his throat.” The bully’s jaw was broken by his adversary’s iron grasp, and he disappeared to be seen no more. Horace Beauchamp Seymour was transferred, in 1815, to a troop in the 1st Life Guards. Was put on h. p. 1819, K.C.H.; M.P. for Lisburn. 3rd son of Adml.

Chatham Horace Churchill, C.B., appears to have sprung from the Dorsetshire family of this name. This officer, who took a prominent part in the Waterloo drama, evinced the enthusiasm which characterized his great namesake a century before. “By G—, they deserve to have Bonaparte!” he was heard to exclaim, as he watched the French “Invincibles” ride into the jaws of death. Writing home to his family the day after the battle he said: “I had rather have fallen yesterday as a British Infantryman, or a French Cuirassier, than die ten years hence in my bed!” He d. in action at Gwalior, India, 27th Dec., 1843, whilst holding the appointment of Q.-M.-G. in India.

Picton’s body was conveyed to England and interred in the burial ground of St. George’s, Hanover Square. In 1859 his remains were finally deposited in St. Paul’s Cathedral.

When he escaped from prison, Pack was appointed to the command of a provisional battalion stationed at Colonia. His fidgety and irascible temper somewhat tried those who had to serve under him. One morning there appeared written in chalk on the door of a barn the following distich:— “The devil break the gaoler’s back That let thee loose, sweet Denis Pack.” For his services at Waterloo he was made Col.-in-Chf. of the York Chasseurs.

His right leg was shattered by a round shot at Waterloo, and he died soon after suffering amputation. Had he lived, a great future was in store for him.

Succeeded to the command of the British troops before New Orleans, in Jan. 1815, on the deaths of Generals Pakenham and Gibbs, who nobly fell whilst heading an attack on the “Crescent City.” The disorganised state of the British troops, and the utter impracticability of forcing the American entrenchments, induced General Lambert to retreat, which he was able to do without meeting with any opposition, having captured Fort Bowyer. With their natural love of exaggeration, the Americans magnified both their victory and our defeat:— “The English had ten thousand, Jackson only one; But what was that to Jackson When him they turned their backs on?” By a forced march from Ostend, Lambert’s brigade arrived at Waterloo just as the battle was commencing. G.C.B. Col.-in-Chf. 10th Foot, 1824. M., 19th Oct., 1816, a dau. of John Mount, of Brocklehurst, in the New Forest. D. at Thames Ditton, 14th Sept., 1847, leaving issue. AIDE-DE-CAMP. Lt. T.

Sir Colquhoun Grant, K.C.B., W. “Descended from the Grants of Gartenbeg.” In order to show the antiquity of the great “Clan Grant,” one of the name asserted that the verse in the Old Testament, saying, “There were giants in the earth in those days” had been wrongly translated, and that it ought to read: “There were _Grants_ in those days.” This genealogical flight reminds one of the story of a negro servant, Deemers by name, who, hearing his Yankee master everlastingly talking of his ancestors, cut into the conversation one fine morning when waiting at table with the following: “Massa, an ancestor of mine is mentioned in de Bible; I heard de minister read out last Sunday a chapter about a coloured man—one nigger Deemers!” Colquhoun Grant commanded the 72nd Regt. in the expedition to the Cape of Good Hope, under Sir David Baird, in 1806, and on 8th Jan. was wounded in the action with the Batavian army. In Sir D. Baird’s despatch, announcing the victory of the British troops, occurs this passage: “Your lordship will perceive the name of Lt.-Col. Grant among the wounded; but the heroic spirit of this officer was not subdued by his misfortune, and he continued to lead his men to glory as long as an enemy was opposed to the 72nd Regt.” The following is an authentic anecdote:— Sir Colquhoun Grant, being in command of a regt. at Clonmel, he gave offence in some way to an honest shopkeeper, named Mulcahy, who struck him on the parade, in presence of his whole corps. The officers rushed forward to seize the delinquent, but Sir Colquhoun interposed, declaring that he had been the aggressor, and as the gentleman thought proper to resent his conduct in so gross a manner, it remained for him to seek the usual reparation. “Oh!” exclaimed Mulcahy, “if it’s for fighting you are, I’ll fight you; but it shall neither be with swords nor pistols, nor anything else but my two fists” (and fine big mutton fists they were, sure enough). “Well, then,” replied the gallant officer, “with all my heart. By insulting you, I have put myself on a level with you, and of course cannot refuse to meet you on your own terms. Come along, sir.” The men were dismissed; and Col. Grant, accompanied by his adversary and some mutual friends, repaired to the mess-room, where he very speedily closed up Mr. Mulcahy’s peepers, and sent him home perfectly satisfied. That was the proudest day of Mulcahy’s life, and many a time has he boasted of the black eye he got from a K.C.B., as if it were an honourable ordinary emblazoned upon his escutcheon. “Ever since that morning,” would he say, “let me meet Sir Colquhoun Grant, where I might, in town or country, among lords or ladies, dressed in plain clothes or dizened out in gold and scarlet, he would give me his hand and say,‘How are you, Billy?’” In Aug., 1808, Grant was appointed lt.-col. of the 15th Lt. Dns., and served in the Pa. Had five horses shot under him at Waterloo. G.C.B., G.C.H. Col.-in-Chf. 15th Hussars, 1827. Lt.-Gen. Succeeded to a large property at Frampton, co. Dorset, 1833, M. Marcia, dau. of Rev. J. Richards, of Long Bredy, co. Dorset, and had an only surviving child, Marcia, who eloped with Richard Brinsley Sheridan in May 1835. Sir C. Grant d., 20th Dec., 1835. AIDE-DE-CAMP. Lt. R. Mansfield, 15th Hussars, W. Eldest son of Francis Mansfield, of Castle Wray, by Margaret West, grand-dau. of John Leonard, of co. Fermanagh.

Promoted brevet maj. 19th June, 1817. Placed on h. p., 10th Nov., 1821. Succeeded his elder brother in 1840. Assumed the additional surname of Stirling. M. the Hon. Fanny Douglas, dau. of Archibald, Lord Douglas. D. s. p., 9th Feb., 1850. MAJOR OF BRIGADE. Capt. Jones, h. p. Capt. Charles Jones, of 15th Hussars, was placed on h. p. in 1814. He appears to have been brought back to f. p. after 1817 as capt. in the York Chasseurs, and to have been again placed on h. p., 29th March, 1821. In 1830 his name was still on h. p. list. * * * * * MAJOR-GENERAL. Sir James Lyon, K.C.B. It is to be recorded of this officer that he had served on board the fleet under Lord Howe, and was present at the glorious action of 1st June, 1794—his regt. being at that time employed as marines. Was with the reserve at Hal, and did not share in the great battle of 18th June. G.C.H. Governor of Barbadoes, 1828. Col.-in-Chf., 24th Foot, 1829. D. at Brighton, 14th Oct., 1844. AIDE-DE-CAMP. Lt.

D. as bt. maj. 23rd May, 1833. * * * * * MAJOR-GENERAL. Major-Gen. Peregrine Maitland. Son of Thos. Maitland, of Shrubs Hall, in the New Forest. Joined the 1st Regt. of Foot Guards in 1792. Commanded the 1st Brigade of Guards at the battle of Nive. The example he set, both at Quatre Bras and Waterloo, had much to do with the victory then obtained over the French. When Napoleon’s “Old Guard” made that gigantic and final effort, on the evening of June 18th, to retrieve the fortunes of the day, it was Maitland’s brigade which checked their advance and drove them headlong down the bloody slope. “Now, Maitland, now’s your time!” said Wellington, as the leading column of the French Guards approached the crest of the slope where the British Guards were stationed—the front rank kneeling. How Maitland responded is told in the words of Col. J. H. Stanhope in his letter to the Duke of York:—“Were it possible for me to add anything to the reputation of Maitland by stating the gallantry he has shown, cheering on with his hat off, I could dwell long on the subject.” Made K.C.B., 22nd June, 1815. Received the Russian Order of St. Vladimir and the Dutch Order of Wilhelm. C.-in-C. at Madras, 1836. Gov. and C.-in-C. at Cape of Good Hope, 1843. Col.-in-Chf., 17th Foot same year.

His horse, a fine thoroughbred, refused a fence, and tried to wheel round. As Lord Saltoun was passing down a path close by, a body fell across his horse’s neck and rolled off. It was poor Hay, who had been picked off by a French cavalry skirmisher, who was, in his turn, shot dead by a Grenadier. James, Lord Hay, eldest son of William, 16th Earl of Errol, by his 2nd wife—Alicia, youngest dau. of Samuel Eliot, of the Island of Antigua—was born 7th July, 1797. In _The History of the Grenadier Guards_ he is erroneously called “Lord James Hay.” The latter officer, also in the 1st Guards, lived for many years afterwards. MAJOR OF BRIGADE. Capt. J. Gunthorpe, 1st Ft. Gds. Promoted capt. and lt.-col., 26th Dec., 1821. Retired from the army, 1833.

When the French stormed and took Ordal, 12th Sept., 1813, he had his left arm broken and his left hand shattered. Made maj.-gen. 1814. The rout of the Old Guard at Waterloo by General Adam’s Brigade was the turning-point of the battle, and ensured victory. G.C.B., G.C.M.G., P.C., Gen. and Col.-in-Chf. 21st Foot. Gov. Ionian Islands.

Vivian rode up to the regt. with the brief address: “Eighteenth, you will follow me.” The 18th responded, in expressive language, that they were ready to follow the general _anywhere_.

His forward gallantry, on 2nd August, 1813, on the Heights of Eschalar, when, with a small force, he attacked a large part of the French army, in a strong position, occasioned a distinguished officer to say: “Barnes set at the French as if every man had been a bull-dog and himself the best bred of all.” In 1819 was on the staff in Ceylon, and in 1824 was appointed Gov. of that island. Held this appointment until 1831, and so endeared himself to the natives that his departure was universally lamented, and a monument was erected in his honour.

Waters will not remain long in the hands of the enemy.” Being a reckless and dare-devil rider Waters made so sure of his speedy escape that he mockingly told his captors they would not have him on their hands for long. Such proved the case, for having managed to get his spurs sharpened, he literally “rode away” from his pursuers one fine morning, and they saw him no more. D. 21st Nov., 1842.

DEPUTY QUARTERMASTER-GENERAL. Col. Sir Wm. Howe De Lancey, K.C.B., K. The De Lanceys were descended from a wealthy Huguenot family, who went from Caen, in Normandy, to America, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. In the short space of sixty years this family produced three celebrated soldiers, viz., Gen. Oliver De Lancey, a leading American loyalist, who fought on the British side during the War of Independence, and, settling in England, d. at Beverley, 1785. In another generation, an Oliver De Lancey distinguished himself as a Christine leader in the Spanish war, and was killed at the siege of San Sebastian in 1837. The third distinguished soldier of this family was the above Wm. Howe De Lancey, who was only son of S. De Lancey, Gov. of Tobago, by Cornelia his wife, who d. in 1817. His early career was one of renown, and in 1799 we find him maj. of the 45th Regt., at the age of 21. On 4th April, 1815, he was married, in Scotland, to the beautiful Magdalen Hall, dau. of Sir James Hall, Bart., of Dunglass, by Lady Helen Douglas, dau. of 4th Earl of Selkirk. The return of Napoleon from Elba once more called De Lancey to the seat of war. Leaving his fair young wife, he proceeded, in May, to Brussels, whither he was followed, the first week in June, by his bride. At Waterloo, when riding by Wellington’s side, the wind of a cannon ball knocked him off his horse. This, it was afterwards found, had separated the ribs from the back-bone, and caused a fatal injury. Wellington caused De Lancey to be removed to a hut in a blanket. For some days hopes were entertained of his recovery, and he was devotedly nursed by his sorrow-stricken wife, whose perilous drive to the battle-field, and her experiences, were lately given in the _Illustrated Naval and Military Magazine_, from an old MS. narrative written by herself. After lingering ten days, the hero died. “Fair lady’s love, and splendid fame, De Lancey did enthral. His loyal heart alike they claim, They sigh to see him fall.” ASSISTANT QUARTERMASTERS-GENERAL. Col. Hon. Alex. Abercromby, 2nd Ft. Gds., W. Bn. 4th March, 1784. 4th son of Sir Ralph Abercromby, of Tullibody, who fell at Aboukir, by Mary Anne, dau. of John Menzies, of Ferntoun, Perthshire, who was created a baroness in 1801.

Hervey, 14th Lt. Dns. Afterwards Col. Sir Felton Elwell Hervey-Bathurst, Bart. He was eldest son of Felton Lionel Hervey, by Selina, only dau. and heir of Sir John Elwell, Bart. After Waterloo was appointed A.D.C. to Wellington, which post he held during the British occupation in France. The following anecdote is from _Reminiscences of Wellington and Anecdotes of his Staff_, by Lord Wm. Lennox:—“Felton Hervey, of the 14th, who had lost an arm when in pursuit of the enemy flying from Oporto, always mounted himself and his orderly upon English hunters, so as to make his escape should he at any time be unexpectedly surrounded. Upon one occasion, when reconnoitring, Hervey rode up, by mistake, to a small detachment of French cavalry. Fortunately for him, the men were dismounted, and busily employed in cooking their rations; but no sooner was the colonel discovered, and his rank recognized, than the order to mount was given. Hervey and his orderly, finding the odds greatly against them, immediately started off at a tremendous pace to reach our lines. The French dragoons were quickly in their saddles, for the prize was worth gaining, and amidst wild shouts and loud halloes, gave chase to their flying foes. The noise attracted the attention of some of the enemy’s lancers, who, being posted nearer the English forces, were enabled to cut off the retreat of the fugitives. The clattering of the horses’ hoofs, who had thus joined in the pursuit, sounded like a death-knell to the two gallant soldiers. ‘Your only chance, colonel,’ said the faithful orderly, ‘is to make for that ravine.’ Hervey followed the suggestion; the ravine was narrow, with only room for one horse to enter. No sooner had he gained it than, on looking round, a terrible sight presented itself. The devoted soldier, knowing that the life of his commanding officer could alone be saved by the sacrifice of his own, had placed himself across the narrow opening, and was literally pierced and cut to pieces. The delay thus occasioned enabled Hervey to pursue his flight. Gaining the open, he charged a stiff fence, and was soon out of sight of his pursuers.” He m., 1817, Louisa Catherine, 3rd dau. of Richard Caton, of Maryland, U.S.A.; was created a baronet, with remainder to his brother Frederick, 3rd Oct., 1818, and d. s. p. 24th Sept., 1819.

Capt. W.G. Moore, 1st Ft. Gds. Aftds. Lt.-Gen. Sir Wm. George Moore, K.C.B. Col.-in-Chf. 60th Rifles. Eldest son of Francis Moore, Under-Sec. of War, by Frances, Countess of Eglinton (dau. of Sir Wm. Twysden, Bart.). This Francis Moore was youngest brother of the famous Sir John Moore “of Corunna celebrity.” Bn. 1795. Educated at Harrow. Served as A.D.C. to Sir John Hope at siege of Bayonne, and was severely wounded and taken prisoner while attempting to assist his general when dismounted and wounded in the sortie of 14th April, 1814.

Francis Read d. a capt. in the same regt., 4th June, 1829. He appears to have been a relative of Lt.-Col. Wm. Read, who d. at Madras, 21st Aug., 1827, whilst holding the appointment of D.Q.M.G. Another of the same family (Constantine) was a Lieut. in Rl. Staff Corps, 1830. Lt. P.T. de Barrailler, 33rd Foot. Peter Toussaint de Barrailler was, as his name implies, of Gallic origin. The irony of fate decreed that he should use his sword against the Gallic army in 1815. His name disappeared from the Army List a few years after Waterloo. Lt. Basil Jackson, Rl. Staff Corps. The following memoir of this distinguished veteran appeared in the _Illustrated London News_ of 9th Nov., 1889:—“A gallant military veteran, who has died at the great age of ninety-four, was reckoned one of the four surviving officers of the British Army present at the battle of Waterloo. Colonel Basil Jackson, born at Glasgow on June 27, 1795, was son of Major Basil Jackson; he entered the Military College in 1808, and, having received his commission as ensign, did not join a Line regiment, but was transferred to the Royal Staff Corps, where he learned the duties of the Quartermaster-General’s Department and engineering. In that branch of the Army he was employed in Holland and Belgium, in 1814 and 1815, and in the Waterloo campaign did good service in clearing the roads, and on the Duke of Wellington’s Staff. He accompanied the army to Paris, and was afterwards selected to go to St. Helena with Napoleon. In that island he remained till about a year and a half before Napoleon’s death. At a later period he was employed in Nova Scotia and in Canada, taking part in the construction of the Rideau Canal. He held the Professorship of Military Surveying in the East India Company’s Military College at Addiscombe during twenty years. After retiring from the army he lived at Hillsborough, near Ross, in Herefordshire.” M. 28th March, 1828, the dau. of Col. Muttlebury, C.B. Lt. A. Brauns, Rl. Staff Corps. Probably a son of the Col. John Brauns, of the German Legion, who was killed at the battle of Talavera. The above officer bore the names of “Augustus Christ. Gotleib.” Was placed on h. p. as lieut., in 1819. Living 1846. COMMANDANT AT HEAD-QUARTERS. Col. Sir Colin Campbell, K.C.B., 2nd Ft. Gds. 5th son of John Campbell, of Melfort, by Colina, dau. of John Campbell, of Auchalader. In 1792 he ran away from Perth Academy, and entered himself on the books of a ship bound for the West Indies. He was met in the fruit market at Kingston, Jamaica, by his brother Patrick (aftds. an admiral), a lieut. on board a man-of-war, who brought him home. In 1793 became a midshipman on board an East Indiaman. Two years later we find him serving as a lieut. in the 3rd Batt. Breadalbane Fencibles, and in 1799 he was appointed ens. in a West India Regt. Exchanged to the Ross-shire Buffs, and as capt., served under Sir A. Wellesley at the storming of Ahmednuggur, where his distinguished gallantry won him a brevet majority. At Assaye he had two horses shot under him, and was severely wounded. He accompanied Sir A. Wellesley to the Peninsula, and was for a considerable time on the staff of the army. For his services in Spain he obtained the gold cross with six clasps, and in Jan., 1815, was made K.C.B. He was a splendid soldier, but a bad French scholar. “When he wished his dinner to be arranged on the table, he used, as it were, to address the dishes, ‘_Bif-teck venez içi! Petits pâtés allez là!_’” (anecdote by Wellington). Was Governor of Ceylon from 1840–7. During his residence there he frequently heard from his great chief, Wellington, his attached friend. “We are both growing old,” wrote the Duke to Campbell; “God knows if we shall ever meet again. Happen what may, I shall never forget our first meeting under the walls of Ahmednuggur.” Sir Colin returned to England in June, 1847, and d. on the 13th of same month, in London, aged seventy-one, and was buried in St. James’s Church, Piccadilly.

Footnote 2: The name of Dorville has only been known in England for a little over a century; but it is that of a well-known Norman family which flourished for six hundred years in France prior to its exodus from France to North Germany, for religious causes, early in the 17th century. From Germany the “d’Orvilles” migrated to Holland, where the family left its mark in the person of the learned James Philip Dorville, professor of history and languages to a Dutch university, and likewise a Sicilian explorer, whose valuable book on Sicily (with rare illustrations), written in the purest Latin, is treasured, with other Dorville books, in the Bodleian Library. The professor’s son, John Dorville, quitted Holland and settled in England. He bought the Ravenscourt Estate at Fulham. M. Anne Gibson (grand-daughter of Edmund Gibson, Bishop of London), and had three sons, the two younger of whom were Philip and Thomas, both of whom entered the army and did good service in the Par. War—the former being for some time on Lord Anglesey’s staff, and the latter in the 1st Foot Guards. At Waterloo Col. Dorville commanded the two squadrons of the 1st Dgns. “which rushed into the second column of the enemy, consisting of about 4,000 men, and after a desperate fight returned with a French eagle.” In this gallant charge Col. Dorville had the scabbard of his sword shot away, and a bullet passed through the breast of his coat. Had three horses shot under him. On the death of Sir Wm. Ponsonby the command of the “Union Brigade” devolved on Col. Muter, of the 6th Dgns., who, being soon after wounded, was replaced by Col. Clifton, and Col. Dorville succeeded to the command of the 1st Dgns. Made C.B. for Waterloo. Retd. on h. p. 8th March, 1827. M.

Later on he took little James Anderson to his family seat at Murdestoun and introduced him to his maiden sister Miss Christina Hamilton.

At Barossa, with a squadron of German dragoons, he charged the French cavalry covering the retreat, overthrew them, and took two guns. Lt.-Col. 12th Lt. Dgns. 1811. Again signally distinguished himself at the battles of Salamanca and Vittoria. His experiences at Waterloo were almost unique, as when lying grievously wnded. on the field, after a most gallant charge, in the French lines, a lancer who was passing by and saw Ponsonby move, exclaimed: “_Tu n’est pas mort, coquin_,” and struck his lance through the English officer’s back. “My head dropped” (wrote Ponsonby in his subsequent narrative of his experiences), “the blood gushed into my mouth, a difficulty of breathing came on, and I thought all was over.” But the bitterness of death was not yet past. Soon after, a tirailleur came up and roughly searched him all over, robbing Ponsonby of what money he had about him. He was hardly quit of this scoundrel before another appeared with the same intent. At last a good Samaritan appeared in the shape of a French officer, who administered brandy to the apparently dying Englishman, and then passed on “to pursue the retreating British”! What followed is best given in Ponsonby’s own words: “Presently another tirailleur appeared, who came and knelt and fired over me, loading and firing many times, and conversing with great gaiety all the while. At last he ran off.” The evening came, and with it the Prussians. “Two squadrons of Prussian cavalry, both of them two deep, passed over me in full trot, lifting me from the ground and tumbling me about cruelly. A German soldier, bent on plunder, came and pulled me about roughly before he left me.” An English private next appeared, and on Ponsonby telling him who he was, the soldier picked up a sword and stood sentry over him. Next morning Ponsonby was removed in a cart to a farmhouse, and laid in a bed from which poor Sir A. Gordon had just been carried out dead. Col. Ponsonby had received seven wounds; a surgeon slept in his room, and he was saved by continual bleeding—120 ounces in two days, besides the great loss of blood on the field.—_Narrative._ M., 1825, Emily, youngest dau. of 3rd Earl Bathurst, and had issue.

Patrick Doherty belonged to a good old Irish family which has done good service to its country, both in the army and on the judicial bench. In the two great wars in which Great Britain played a leading part during the 19th century, the 13th Regt. of Lt. Dgns. (Hussars) has been commanded by a Doherty; and three generations of this family have been closely associated with this same regt. In 1796 Patrick Doherty embarked for the West Indies with his regt. on active service. It is on record that no less than twenty-two officers of the 13th Lt. Dgns. fell victims to “Yellow Jack” when serving in St. Domingo; and the skeleton of the regt., with two or three surviving officers, returned to England. This fatality brought rapid promotion to Doherty, and in 1813 he succeeded to the command of the 13th. For his services in the Pa. he was made bt.-col. The editor of the _Military Calendar_ states that on Waterloo Day Col. Doherty was lying ill at Brussels, suffering from a most severe attack of West Indian fever and ague; but as it is probable that he took part in the operations of the 16th or 17th June, it does not debar him from being added to the roll of Waterloo officers. He undoubtedly received the medal for Waterloo, as well as the C.B. in 1816. Col. Doherty was subsequently made K.C.H. Quitted the service in Dec., 1818, and d. at Bath, 20th Jan., 1837. He was uncle to John Doherty, of Dublin, who held the high post of Chief Justice of Ireland, and dying, in 1850, left, with other male issue, the present Maj. H. Doherty, of the Artillery Militia, who formerly commanded a troop in the 3rd Hussars. Footnote 2: Made C.B. for Waterloo. Served in the Pa. 2nd son of Samuel Boyse, of Barrow, New Ross, co. Wexford, by Dorothea, dau. of Shapland Carew, of Castleboro, same county. D., unm., 1833. Footnote 3: There were three of this family in the regt. in 1815. Brook Lawrence served thirty-eight years in this regt., and was made bt.-lt.-col. for Waterloo. He d. at Brompton 11th Aug., 1823, aged 59. Footnote 4: Son of Col. P. Doherty. Promoted maj. in this regt. 8th Dec., 1818. D. at Bangalore 12th June, 1819. Footnote 5: Served in the Pa. and in India. In the last charge made by his regt. at Waterloo was wounded in the ankle, which troubled him ever afterwards. Quitted the service in 1823. D. at Kames House, Millport, 17th Sept., 1852.

He had taken out his watch to remark the time, when the regt. was ordered to advance; and not being able to return it, he put it into the breast of his jacket, and thus providentially his life was saved.” (Anecdote by T.

Made Lancers in 1816. Disbanded in Jan. 1818. Footnote 1: The star of the Dawsons was not propitious on the morning of the 18th June, 1815. Whilst one brother had been sent to the rear on the evening of 17th June as officer in charge of the baggage guard of 18th Hussars, the eldest brother, John Dawson, 2nd Earl of Portarlington, had betaken himself that same evening to Brussels or elsewhere. The consequence of this step was that “on the morning of Waterloo, by an unfortunate mistake, he was prevented from joining his regiment in time to command it in the brilliant exploits it performed on that memorable day.” His anguish was extreme. He joined the 18th Hussars, and served with Sir H. Vivian’s brigade in the destructive and successful charge made by that corps towards the close of the battle. In this charge Lord Portarlington had a horse shot under him. No one who knew this nobleman doubted his courage for a moment, but his absence from duty on such an occasion necessitated his retirement from the 23rd Dgns. in Sept., 1815. The Prince Regent showed much kind feeling for Portarlington, and did his best to uphold the unfortunate officer in the eyes of the world. Lord Portarlington purchased a half-pay ensigncy in 86th Foot 21st Oct., 1821. Became lieut. on h. p. 10th Sept., 1825. Capt. h. p. 9th Aug., 1831. This rank was a curious anomaly, as his lordship’s name had been retained in the _Army List_ as a “colonel” ever since Waterloo, and he was also awarded the Waterloo medal. But the one misfortune of his life was ever before him, and the remorse from knowing that he alone was the author of it weighed upon him to such an extent that he took to dissipation, lost a large fortune, and d. at a humble lodging in an obscure London slum, 28th Dec., 1845. In early life he had served in the Pa., and was present at the battle of Talavera. He d. unm.

Sir Alexander Woodford, G.C.B. and G.C.M.G. Elder brother to Col. John G. Woodford (see Staff). On the death of Sir Ralph Woodford, Bart., Governor of Trinidad, Alexander Woodford became the head of this ancient family. His father was descended maternally from the Brideokes, of classical memory, of whom Dr. Brideoke, the “sometime” chaplain to James, the 4th Earl of Derby, in the reign of Charles I., was a good specimen of the “fighting parson” of olden days. This same Dr. Brideoke became Dean of Salisbury, and, by his extraordinary presence of mind and address, saved the heroic Countess of Derby, and her house at Latham, from being stormed by the Cromwellian army. In like manner did his descendant, Alexander Woodford, defend the farm of Hougomont in the early part of the afternoon of Waterloo Day against the repeated and vigorous attacks of the French. C.B. for Waterloo. Had previously served in the Pa. and received the gold cross and one clasp. Was also K.M.T., and K. St. G. of Russia. Filled high commands in the Ionian Islands and elsewhere.

Served in the Pa. and also at Maida, for which he recd. the gold medal. Macdonell’s gallant defence of Hougomont is a matter of history. More than once was the place nearly taken by the French. “The French, however,” says Siborne, in his graphic account of the battle of Waterloo, “succeeded in forcing the gate; but the defenders betook themselves to the nearest cover, whence they poured a fire upon the intruders, and then rushing forward a struggle ensued which was distinguished by the most intrepid courage on both sides. At length Lt.-col. Macdonell, Capt. Wyndham, Ensigns Gooch and Hervey, and Sergt. Graham, of the Coldstream Guards, by dint of great personal strength and exertions, combined with extraordinary bravery and perseverance, succeeded in closing the gate against their intruders.” The struggle for the possession of Hougomont went on the whole day until the French retreat set in late in the evening.

Some interesting particulars regarding the Sowerby family are to be found in Mr. Harrison’s book, but unfortunately they are particulars of the far-away Norman times. Footnote 9: Afterwards Gen. W.L.

But as the Coldstreams were under fire on 16th June, 1815, having arrived at Quatre Bras at 4 P.M. that day, after a march of twenty-five miles from Enghien, it would be scarcely fair to omit this officer, who appears to have received the Waterloo medal.

But the most notable member of this ancient family was John de Hotham, Bishop of Ely, Lord Chancellor of England from 1316–1320. He was a great favourite with the young King Edward III., and had the choosing of a wife for that monarch. The story goes that he selected Philippa of Hainault “on account of the largeness of her hips,” which he prognosticated meant a large family, and the shrewd chancellor-bishop was not far wrong, as Queen Philippa had seven sons.

Several captains of the 1st Batt. 4th Foot had been killed in the attack on New Orleans—hence the small number of captains present at Waterloo. Siborne gives the names of six additional captains as present with this regt. at Waterloo, but as the official _Army List_ for 1817 does not credit them with having the Waterloo medal, the Editor has been reluctantly compelled to omit their names.

War the British Army was reduced to a peace footing. The 3rd Batt. of the 14th Foot survived this general reduction until the spring of 1815, when the dreaded order for its disbanding arrived. Before this became an accomplished fact the escape of Napoleon from Elba, and the consequent war with France, put a stop to further reductions. The 3rd Batt. 14th was ordered to Belgium. Being composed chiefly of very young recruits, the 14th were ordered to Antwerp to join the garrison there, but through their colonel’s personal application to Gen. Lord Hill, this order was countermanded by Wellington himself, who inspected the regt. from the window of his hotel at Brussels. “They are a very pretty little battalion,” said he to Lord Hill; “tell them they may join the grand division as they wish.” And so it came to pass that the “peasants,” as the battalion of _young bucks_ were waggishly styled, took part in the “combat of giants.” Footnote 1: Youngest son of the Rev. Thomas Holmes Tidy, chaplain to H.M. 26th Foot, and afterwards rector of Red Marshall, co. Durham, by Henrietta Augusta, dau. of the Rev. Wm. Skelly, by Lady Betty Gordon, dau. of Alexander, Duke of Gordon. If “fighting blood” is hereditary, then must “Frank Tidy,” as he was always called, have had a good share, for he was maternally descended from Charles Mordaunt, the “fighting” Earl of Peterborough, and had for his uncle the gallant Francis Skelly, maj. in the 71st Highlanders, who gained renown at the siege of Seringapatam. Joined the 43rd Regt. in Ireland as a volunteer at the age of 16, and was soon gazetted an ensign. When serving with his regt. in the West Indies “a mortality of from ten to thirteen men a day reduced the 43rd to 96 rank and file, and Guadaloupe being disputed inch by inch, the 43rd, at the time of its capture at Berville, did not contain more than two officers and twenty men fit for duty.” Tidy was confined for 15 months on board a hulk, subject to the tyranny and cruelty of Victor Hughes, thence sent to France, and eventually allowed to return to England on parole. Appointed adjt. of the 43rd. Promoted capt. 1st West India Regt. 1798; in 1799 exchanged to the Royal Scots. A.D.C. to Sir George Beckwith in the West Indies. Maj. 8th W.I.

Bn. 13th June, 1799. 2nd son of Wm. Charles 4th Earl of Albemarle, by his first wife, the hon. Eliz. Southwell, dau. of Edward Lord de Clifford. England may thank Wm. III. for having given us the Keppels 200 years ago. It was this monarch who brought over Arnold Joost Van Keppel (descended from Walter Van Keppel, Lord of Keppel, 1179) as a page in 1688, and who raised him from one high post to another until he became Earl of Albemarle, a Knight of the Garter, and gen. of the Dutch forces in 1702. This nobleman fought under Marlborough in the wars of Queen Anne, and our last Stuart monarch stood sponsor to Lord Albemarle’s eldest son, who succeeded his father as William Anne 2nd Earl—a general officer and British ambassador to Paris. The two eldest sons of the 2nd earl were equally distinguished in their respective professions—the army and navy. Viscount Bury was A.D.C. to the Duke of Cumberland at Fontenoy and Culloden. He subsequently attained the rank of lt.-gen. and was com.-in-chf. at the reduction of the Havannah, which brought him much renown. His brother Augustus became famous as Adm. Keppel, and for his eminent services was created Visct. Keppel, of Elvedon, Suffolk (extinct). Gen. Visct. Bury succeeded as 3rd Earl, and it was his grandson, the sixth earl, who joined the 3rd Batt. 14th Foot six weeks before Waterloo. The following Waterloo anecdote is given by Mrs. Ward in her memoir of Col. Tidy (already referred to), and is corroborated by Lord Albemarle himself in his interesting autobiography published in 1876:— “Mr. Keppel was sitting on a drum just in front of my father’s mare when she was shot—he was even stroking the poor thing’s face at the time that the ball struck her down, broke the bit of the bridle and knocked him head over heels, drum and all. The animal plunging in her agony, threw the square into great confusion, and her misery was speedily put an end to by the soldiers’ bayonets.” On the 25th May, 1820, Ensign Keppel (then in 22nd Foot) was promoted lieut. Exchanged to 20th Foot, 1821; Capt. 62nd Foot, 1825; and in 1827 was promoted to an unattached majority. Lt.-Col., 1841; Col., 1854; M.-Gen., 1858; Lieut.-Gen., 1866; and Gen. 1874.

Footnote 36: “For some time after the firing had begun,” writes Lord Albemarle in his account of Waterloo, “Mrs. Ross, our quartermaster’s wife, remained with the regt. She was no stranger to a battle-field, and had received a severe wound in Whitelock’s disastrous retreat from Buenos Ayres (1807) at the time her husband was a sergt. in the 95th. She was at length persuaded to withdraw, and retired to the belfry of Waterloo Church.” Footnote 37: Commissioned ensign 14th Foot 27th June, 1815. Out of the regt. before 1st Jan., 1817.

The 28th might have been appropriately called “Prescott’s Own,” as the Col.-in-Chf., Gen. Robert Prescott, had been closely associated with this regt. for 50 years or longer, and was lt.-col. commanding for about 12 years. From 1789 until his death in Dec., 1815, he was col.-in-chf., and took the deepest interest in all that concerned his old corps. He had more than one godson in the regt., whose fathers had fought under him in America, whom he advanced in their military career by his own personal interest. And the 28th were equally attached to their old colonel, who had seen much service in America and the West Indies, where he held high commands. Like many others, before and since, who have filled responsible situations in countries where the native or “barbarian” element is largely represented, Gen. Prescott was fully imbued with the idea of his own great importance. An amusing instance of this is found in an order issued by him when commanding the troops in Canada:— LIEUT.-GENERAL PRESCOTT’S ORDERS. “St. Pierres, 16th _June_, 1794. “Whereas Vice-Adm. Sir John Jervis has given orders, I am told, frequently here on shore, and particularly by note dated off Point Petre, June 11th, 1794, which must have arisen from great ignorance or great presumption and arrogance. “If from ignorance, poor man! he is to be pitied, but if from presumption and arrogance, he is to be checked. “It is, therefore, Lt.-General Prescott’s orders that in future no attention whatever is to be given to such notes or orders, and his signature to such to be as little regarded as that of John Oakes or Peter Styles.” A martinet he lived and a martinet he died. His last whisper on his death-bed was an inquiry as to whether there was a Hessian sentry at his door. Although he did not die in harness the veteran “Slasher” died under the colours of the 28th, as on the death of the late Robert Prescott (grandson of the above) the old colours of the 28th were found among his effects and returned to the regt. They had doubtless been worked by the fair fingers of the old general’s wife. Footnote 1: Succeeded to the command of the 8th Brigade after Quatre Bras. Lt.-Col. 56th Regt. 9th May, 1816. Had served throughout the Par. War with above regt., and received the gold cross with two clasps. Maj.-Gen. 1819. D. at Blackheath 5th Nov., 1830, aged 57.

Footnote 4: Distinguished himself in the Pa., and had a musket-ball through his right arm at Quatre Bras. Bt. lt.-col. for Waterloo. Quitted the service in 1826. Both his arms had been nearly disabled by wounds. D. 14th Jan., 1834. Footnote 5: Afterwards Gen. Sir Richard Lluellyn, K.C.B., Col.-in-Chf. 39th Regt. Entered the army with temporary rank as capt. in the 52nd, and served in the Mediterranean. In 1801 was placed on h. p. but when the war recommenced he re-entered the army and purchased a company in the 28th Foot in 1805. Fought at Busaco and Albuera, and other actions in the Pa. Was an excellent horseman, and on one occasion in the Pa., when employed on staff duty, he was galloping after the retreating French when he came on an open portmanteau, in which he espied some silver spoons and forks of an antique pattern. As he galloped past he bent in the saddle and made a grab with his right hand at the glittering contents. His dexterity was rewarded with several specimens of old French plate. This anecdote is given on the authority of a relative of the Editor, who used to meet the old general in society, who told the story himself. Made bt. lt.-col. and C.B. for his gallantry at Waterloo. He was son of Richard Lluellyn, of South Witham, co. Lincoln, by a dau. of Warren Maude, of Sunnyside, Northumberland. M., 1831, Eliz., dau. of Lt.-Gen. Raymond. D. 7th Dec., 1867.

At Waterloo, when only an ensign, commanded the light company towards the close of the battle. His private journal, in which he gives his experiences at Waterloo, is quoted from in Sir H. Havelock’s military work, entitled _Three Main Questions of the Day_ (published in 1867) in order to show how the bravest cavalry failed again and again, at Waterloo, in breaking through the infantry squares when those squares were well provided with ammunition in addition to their bayonets. “Here come these fools again,” growled the 30th rank and file as they prepared to pour a destructive fire on the advancing French cuirassiers, which invariably emptied many saddles and sent the remainder from whence they came. Served at the siege of Asseerghur, and was aftds. milit. sec. to Sir John Wilson in Ceylon. Was promoted maj. h. p. unattached, 22nd Nov., 1839. Wrote the _Life of Marshal Suvarow_, which was published after his death. D. at Clevedon, 4th Nov., 1848. Footnote 34: H. p. 1831. Footnote 35: An amusing anecdote relative to this officer is given in the _United Service Journal_ for 1838. Col. A. Hamilton of this regt., had a very valuable charger at Waterloo, and knowing that if it was shot in the battle he would only get the Government price of £20 for another charger, he exchanged horses, before going into action at Quatre Bras, with his steady old quartermaster, who, being a non-combatant, was to remain in the rear. The quartermaster’s horse was what is called a “safe convenience,” but the colonel’s charger was very high-spirited and fresh. Unaccustomed to the quietude of his position in the rear of the army, he fretted and fumed at being kept back from the excitement going on in front. His rider had a bad time of it, and was a source of much amusement to the idlers and “non-effectives” in the rearward. The narrator of this incident says that on the evening of the 16th June, 1815, Sir W. Ponsonby sent his A.D.C. to offer to buy Hamilton’s fine charger (his owner being wounded), but the bargain hung fire in some way, and the gallant Ponsonby lost his life on the 18th June, as we have seen, from being badly mounted.

Wellington never forgot his old regiment, and it is recorded that he honoured Sir Colin Halkett’s brigade with several visits on Waterloo Day. In one visit late in the afternoon of that eventful day, he inquired “How they were?” The answer was that two-thirds of their number were down, and that the rest were so exhausted that leave to retire, even for a short time, was most desirable, some of the foreign corps, who had not suffered, to take their place. Gen. Halkett was told that the issue of the battle depended on the unflinching front of the British troops, and that even a change of place was hazardous in the extreme. Halkett impressively said, “Enough, my lord; we stand here until the last man falls.” Footnote 1: Afterwards Maj.-Gen. W. Keith Elphinstone, C.B., Com.-in-Chf. in Bengal. 3rd son of the Hon. Wm.

Macara at Quatre Bras was inexpressibly sad. “He was wounded about the middle of the engagement, and was in the act of being carried off the field by four of his men, when a party of French unexpectedly surrounded and made them prisoners. Perceiving by the colonel’s decorations that he was an officer of rank they immediately cut him down with his attendants.” His relations obtained Macara’s Waterloo medal, which was for long in the Tancred Collection. A touching poem to Robert Macara’s memory is to be found in the _Waterloo Memoirs_; the following are the last three verses of a pæan of praise sung by the Goddess of Fame:— “Here the Goddess ceased her lay; Weak, her wings refused to fly; Faint, her voice forbore to say How Macara dared to die. “Be it, then, to friendship giv’n Such a warrior’s name to save, While ’tis borne on breeze of heav’n That he found a soldier’s grave. “By unequal hosts oppos’d, Still he proved his valour true; For his bright career was clos’d On the plains of Waterloo!” Footnote 2: Succeeded to the command after Macara’s death. C.B. for Waterloo. Had served in the Pa., and received the gold medal and one clasp for Fuentes d’Onor and Salamanca. A.D.C. to George IV., 1825. H. p. unattached list, 1825; maj.-gen., 1837.

Macnabb, of Arthurstone, Perth. Footnote 3: In Capt. George Jones’s _Waterloo Memoirs_ is to be found an interesting letter regarding Major Menzies of the 42nd, who was dangerously wounded at Quatre Bras. The major’s name is omitted in this letter:—“On the 16th June, Major ——, of the 42nd, preferring to fight on foot, in front of his men, had given his horse to hold to a little drummer-boy. After severe fighting he fell wounded near a brave private, Donald Mackintosh. The drummer left the horse to assist his friend Donald. A French lancer attempted to seize the horse, on which the prostrate Donald exclaimed, ‘Hoot man, ye mauna tak that beast, ’t belangs to our captain here!’ The lancer, little heeding, seized the horse. Donald, with a last expiring effort, loaded his musket and shot the lancer dead. A French cavalry officer, seeing the major bestirring himself, rode up and attempted to dispatch him with his sword. As he stooped from his saddle, the major seized his leg, and managed to pull him off his horse upon him. Another lancer, observing this struggle, galloped up and tried to spear the major and relieve his officer; but the former, by a sudden jerk and desperate exertion, placed the French officer uppermost, who received the mortal thrust below his cuirass and continued lying upon the major’s body for near ten minutes, sword in hand. A pause in the battle permitted some men of the 42nd to carry their officer into the square of the 92nd, where he was found to have received sixteen wounds.” Acted as major after Sir R. Macara’s death at Quatre Bras until wounded himself. Promoted maj. 18th June, 1815. Left the regt. in 1828. D. in 1854.

He was a soldier from his youth, and obtained his first commission of cornet at the early age of fifteen, in 1792. In 1794 he served under the Duke of York; in 1795 embarked for the West Indies; in 1796 assisted at the capture of St. Lucia; and, in 1801, fought with distinction in Egypt. Subsequently he took part in the Pa. campaigns, in command of the 1st Batt. of the 44th. At Waterloo he bravely led on the 2nd Batt. of the same gallant regiment, and was left for dead on that bloody field, having received several severe wounds in the head and thigh. Owing to the attachment of a faithful non-commissioned officer, Sergeant Ryan, who brought his wounded and insensible commander under the care of skilful medical treatment, he slowly recovered, and with his devoted follower returned home. A chivalric soldier, an honourable and most amiable gentleman, General Hamerton is deeply lamented by all who came within the influence of his high and endearing qualities.” He m.

Footnote 17: Siborne immortalises the name of this officer, in his history of the battle of Quatre Bras, as follows:—“A French lancer gallantly charged at the colours of the 44th, and severely wounded Ensign Christie, who carried one of them, by a thrust of his lance, which, entering the left eye, penetrated to the lower jaw. The Frenchman then endeavoured to seize the standard, but the brave Christie, notwithstanding the agony of his wound, with a presence of mind almost unequalled, flung himself upon it—not to save himself, but to preserve the honour of his regiment. As the colour fluttered in its fall, the Frenchman tore off a portion of the silk with the point of his lance; but he was not permitted to bear the fragment beyond the ranks. Both shot and bayoneted by the nearest of the soldiers of the 44th, he was borne to the earth, paying with the sacrifice of his life for his display of unavailing bravery.” Promoted lieut. 26th Oct., 1815.

Led the Forlorn Hope on two successive occasions during the siege of Badajoz, in 1811, when Fort San Christoval was assaulted by the British. The second assault, on the night of 9th June, is graphically described in _Reminiscences of a Subaltern_:—“At ten o’clock at night, 200 men moved forward to the assault, Dyas leading the advance. He made a circuit until he came exactly opposite to the breach instead of entering the ditch as before; a sheep-path, which he remembered in the evening while he and Major MacGeechy made their observations, served to guide them to the part of the glacis in front of the breach. Arrived at this spot, the detachment descended the ditch, and found themselves at the foot of the breach; but here an unlooked-for event stopped their further progress, and would have been in itself sufficient to have caused the failure of the attack. The ladders were entrusted to a party composed of a foreign corps in our pay, called ‘the Chasseurs Britanniques’; these men, the moment they reached the glacis, glad to rid themselves of their load, flung the ladders into the ditch, instead of sliding them between the palisadoes; they fell across them, and so stuck fast, and being made of heavy green wood, it was next to impossible to _move_, much less place them upright against the breach, and almost all the storming party were massacred in the attempt. Placed in a situation so frightful, it required a man of the most determined character to continue the attack. Every officer of the detachment had fallen, Major MacGeechy one of the first; and at this moment Dyas and about five-and-twenty men were all that remained of the 200. Undismayed by these circumstances, the soldiers persevered, and Dyas, although wounded and bleeding, succeeded in disentangling one ladder, and placing it against what was considered to be the breach, it was speedily mounted, but upon arriving at the top of the ladder, instead of the _breach_, it was found to be a _stone wall_ that had been constructed in the night, and which completely cut off all communication between the ditch and the bastion, so that when the men reached the top of this wall, they were, in effect, as far from the breach as if they had been in their own batteries. From this faithful detail it is evident that the soldiers did as much as possible to ensure success, and that failure was owing to a combination of untoward circumstances over which the troops had no control. Nineteen men were all that escaped.” The gallantry of Ensign Joseph Dyas was proclaimed to the world in Wellington’s account of the two assaults of San Christoval, but for all that a grateful War Office allowed him to remain a subaltern for ten years longer! “I know a man of whom ’tis truly said He bravely twice a storming party led, And volunteered both times; now here’s the rub, The gallant fellow still remains a sub.” In Dec. 1820, owing to the representations of Col. Gurwood and Sir H. Torrens, the Duke of York promoted Dyas a capt. in the 2nd Ceylon Regt., but impaired health obliged him to retire on h. p. 9th Aug., 1821.

Wellington saw the movement, and instantly sent to desire him to continue it.” Col. Chesney, the able author of _Waterloo Lectures_ in commenting on the steadfast manner in which the British Guards faced the advancing Imperial Guards on the summit of the hill, says: “While on their left, Colborne, peerless among all the brave men who led Wellington’s battalions, coolly formed in line the 52nd, and without other prompting than that of his own genius for battle, advanced against their flank.” Created Baron Seaton, of Seaton, Devon, 14th Dec., 1839.

On the 25th June, the landing of this small force was effected at the point of Quilmes, up the River Plate, without opposition. He was present in the affairs of the 26th and 27th, which terminated in the surrender of the city of Buenos Ayres to the British; and was with the troops employed in dispersing the enemy from the vicinity of the city, on the 1st August; at the defending of the city on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, when the British were obliged to capitulate, and become prisoners of war; and was marched, as such, a considerable distance into the interior of the country. He next served with the army in Portugal, and was present at the action of Roleia, and battle of Vimiero.

In Jan., 1814, he proceeded to join the 1st batt. in Spain, landed at St. Sebastian, and marched in charge of a detachment for the 2nd division of the army, which he joined in Aire on the 10th of March, and served with it in the different operations that took place against the enemy from that period until a short time after the battle of Toulouse, 10th April, 1814.

At Waterloo the 73rd were literally cut to pieces, and at the close of the battle only fifty unwounded men were left out of a total of from 500 to 600 men. “Once, and once only, during the dreadful carnage at Waterloo did the stern 73rd hesitate to fill up a gap which the relentless iron had torn in their square. Their Colonel, at once pushing his horse lengthwise across the space, said, with a smile, ‘Well, my lads, if you won’t, I must.’ Immediately his horse was led back to his proper place and the ranks closed up by men still more devoted than before.” C.B. and K.W. for Waterloo.

Was desperately wounded at Waterloo. After the battle he was carried to Brussels, and after months of suffering was able to return to Dorchester. He was not then expected to recover, and by some error his death was reported in the papers in the autumn of 1816. Here is the _first_ obituary notice in the _Gentleman’s Magazine_:—“At his father’s, Dorchester, Capt. John Garland, 73rd Foot. He was in most of the Peninsular battles, and was desperately wounded at Waterloo at the close of the action, only two men of his company being then left, and was confined at Brussels until his recent return to England.” But John Garland did _not_ die in 1816, and lived to become a bt. maj. on unattached list in 1825, and a bt. lt.-col. in 1838.

Morris, of the 73rd, in his _Recollections of Military Service_, records that Ensign Deacon was shot through an arm at Quatre Bras and conveyed by the baggage-train to Brussels. “The officer’s wife, who with her three children had been left with the baggage guard, passed the whole night in searching for her husband among the wounded. At length she was informed he had been conveyed to Brussels.... Conveyances there were none to be had, and she was in the last state of pregnancy. She made the best of her way on foot with her children, exposed to the terrific storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, which continued without intermission for about ten hours. Faint, exhausted, and wet to the skin, having no other clothes but a black silk dress and light shawl, she yet happily surmounted all these difficulties, reached Brussels on the morning of the 18th, and found her husband in very comfortable quarters, where she also was accommodated, the next day giving birth to a fine girl, who was afterwards christened ‘Waterloo Deacon.‘” Footnote 16: Lieut. 4th Aug., 1815.

Sir Alan Cameron, K.C.B. (then Maj. Cameron), who was their first colonel. The officers were mostly selected from the half-pay list, and had served, like their colonel, in the American war. The regt. served during the campaign in Holland, and the mortality was so great that, in 1799, this Scotch regt. had to be again raised. The call for officers and men was nobly responded to by the Clan Cameron:— “And wild and high the Cameron’s gathering rose, The war-note of Lochiel, which Albyn’s hills have heard, And heard, too, have her Saxon foes.” How the “Cameron men” fought at Waterloo is testified to by the number of their killed and wounded in that battle, and it is also recorded that, when all the field officers and captains of this regt. had been disabled, the regt. was led on to victory by Lieut. Cameron, a nephew of Sir Alan Cameron, the col.-in-chf.; but which of the _four_ lieutenants of this name cannot now be traced. On the evening of 18th June, 1815, 9 officers, 21 sergts., 7 drummers and 260 rank and file remained unwounded out of a total of 41 combatant officers, 40 sergts., 11 drummers, and 684 rank and file—the effective strength of the regt. at Quatre Bras.

In early life was articled to a Writer to the Signet at Edinburgh; but when war broke out, in 1793, his military tastes inclined him to forsake the pen for a sword. Obtained a commission in the 26th Cameronians in 1793. His chief services were in the Pa. with above regt., and the honourable augmentation to his family arms, by the Prince Regent, 20th May, 1815, tells the true story of his exploits at “Almaraz” and the “Pass of Maya.” K.T.S. He met his death at Quatre Bras whilst leading the 92nd against a large body of French troops. Never was a commanding officer more universally lamented. He was buried on the 17th June during the height of the storm which raged that day. His grave was dug in a quiet lane by his devoted foster-brother, Ewen McMillan, a private in the 92nd, who had accompanied his master through all his campaigns. By desire of his family, Cameron’s body was aftds. disinterred and removed to Scotland, where it was re-interred in Kilmallie churchyard, where a tall obelisk, with an inscription by Sir Walter Scott, marks his grave. His aged father, Ewen Cameron, was created a bart. in consideration of his gallant son’s services. The title is now extinct.

Footnote 5: Afterwards capt. retired f. p. 4th Rl. Vet. Batt. D. 1826. Footnote 6: An interesting memoir of this gallant soldier appeared in the _United Service Journal_ for 1837. He was a native of Dumfriesshire, where his father had a small property of his own. In 1805 he joined the 52nd L.I. as an ensign, and in the year following was appointed to a lieutenancy in the Rifle Brigade (as the old 95th is now styled). As a lieut. he had the good fortune to command one of the four companies of the Rifles which, under Sir S. Beckwith, at the Pass of Barba del Puerco, on 19th March, 1810, so gallantly repulsed 600 chosen French troops who attempted to surprise them at midnight. I extract the following from the above memoir:—“On the 19th Jan., 1812, he was one of the officers who volunteered and led the stormers at the taking of Ciudad Rodrigo, and was fortunate enough to come out unscathed, although one of the first to enter that deadly pass. At the storming of Badajoz on the 6th April, 1812, his name again stood on the list of volunteers for the Forlorn Hope, but as it was claimed by a senior officer of the division, he was obliged to limit his expectations to one of the posts of honour with the storming party. Sir Andrew Barnard, however, who commanded the Light Division, knowing how peculiarly well qualified he was for desperate enterprise, assigned him a post in front of the Forlorn Hope, in the command of a party carrying ropes prepared with nooses to throw over the sword-blades which formed the chevaux-de-frise, in the hope of being able to displace it by dragging it down the breach, but Johnstone and all his party were stricken down before they got within throwing distance. His appearance next morning is thus described by a brother officer, Capt. Kincaid, in _Random Shots from a Rifleman_, page 287:—‘The first tent that I entered was Johnstone’s. With his shattered arm bandaged, he was lying fast asleep, and coupling his appearance with the daring duty he had been called on to perform but a few hours before in front of the Forlorn Hope, I thought that I had never set my eyes upon a nobler picture of a soldier! His whole appearance, even in sleep, showed exactly as it had been in the execution of that duty; his splendid figure was so disposed as if he was taking the first step in the breach—his eyebrows were elevated—his nostrils still distended, and altogether he looked as if he would clutch the castle in his remaining hand! No one could have seen him at that moment without saying—There lies a hero!’” Johnstone was wounded both at Quatre Bras and Waterloo. Promoted maj. 24th Dec., 1829. Quitted the service in 1831. Was Colonial Sec. at Cape of Good Hope, and d. at sea 6th April, 1836. Footnote 7: H. p. 21st May, 1818. Footnote 8: Capt. 5th Aug., 1824. H. p. 28th May, 1829. Lt.-col. unatt. 11th May, 1851.

Was present at eleven general actions in the Pa. Had a compound fracture of his left arm at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo. Defended a battery with his company at Waterloo. D. at Cheltenham, 7th Feb., 1863. There were two officers of this name in the Rifles in 1815, who appear to have been brothers, and of the same family as Sir Richard Cox, Bart., Lord Chancellor of Ireland.

The Waggon Train was reduced about twenty years after Waterloo, and after the Crimean War a corps called “The Military Train” sprung into existence, which, like its predecessor, was chiefly officered by old soldiers who had won their commissions while serving in the ranks. The Military Train was reduced in its turn, and “The Army Service Corps” may be said to be its present equivalent. Footnote 1: Placed on h. p. 25th Dec., 1818. D. 1839. (_See_ note to Lieut.

Bn at Dunkirk, 5th Sept., 1776, and educated at the High School, Edinburgh, where he was a contemporary of Lord Brougham. Joined the Military Academy at Woolwich in August, 1790, and became 2nd lt. R.A., 18th Sept., 1793. Served in Holland in 1794. In 1795 was appointed to the Royal Horse Artillery, and in 1799 again embarked for active service in Holland. Commanded the artillery of the expedition against Buenos Ayres, and was present at the assault of that city in July, 1807. In June 1811, was made bt. maj., and in Nov., 1812, joined the British army in the Pa. Five months later was appointed to command the Horse Artillery of Wellington’s army, and served in this capacity until the conclusion of the war, winning for himself, and his branch of the service, a high reputation. K.C.B. and the gold cross, with one clasp. In the Waterloo campaign, Frazer again commanded the R.H.A., and “his high reputation as an artillery officer, combined with his firmness of character, prevailed on the Duke of Wellington, who was at first not favourable to the exchange, to permit him to substitute 9-pounders for 6-pounders in the troops of Horse Artillery serving with the army. To this exchange, which preceded the battle of Waterloo, may justly be ascribed much of the success of that memorable day.” Another instance of Frazer’s firmness of character is exhibited in the speedy way in which he made the Prussians, two days after Waterloo, surrender all the French guns which had been captured by the British, and which the rapacious Prussians had annexed, and “regularly parked with Prussian sentries.” Frazer’s interesting letters from the Pa. and the Netherlands were published in 1859. These letters stamp the writer as a thorough soldier, a perfect gentleman, a delightful companion, and a modest and unassuming man, possessing a heart that could feel for others’ woes. He m., in 1809, Emma, youngest dau. of James Lynn, of Woodbridge, in Suffolk, and had issue two sons. He d. as col., 11th June, 1835, at Woolwich, whilst holding the appointment of Director of the Royal Laboratory. Footnote 3: One of the “Macdonalds of Glencoe.” Commanded a troop of R.H.A. in the Pa.

Bell, K.C.B. Col.-comdt. R.H.A. His father was Wm. Bell, a native of Tanfield, Yorkshire, a cornet in the Yeomanry, but a surgeon by profession, who had a good practice in Ripon, and was twice mayor of that town. His mother was Ann Atkinson, one of the daughters of Henry Atkinson, town clerk of Ripon. The way W. Bell became an artilleryman was as follows:—“Old Col. Quist of the R.A., head of the riding establishment (who belonged to a Dutch family), came to Ripon to buy horses when Bell was a boy in his teens, and happening to meet the youth in Ripon society, he took a fancy to him.” Col. Quist used his interest in obtaining for Bell a nomination to a cadetship at Woolwich Academy. In due course Bell obtained a commission in the R.A., and soon evinced that he had a talent for “the music of war.” He served in the West Indies from 1807–1810, and was present at the capture of several of the West Indian islands. Served in the Pa. from July, 1813, to 1814, and was present at five general actions. Slightly wounded at Toulouse. His duties were very onerous both at Quatre Bras and Waterloo, where he was employed in conveying instructions and orders to officers commanding batteries in all parts of the field. He had the narrowest escape of being crushed to death, in after life, that ever befell anyone. “He fell from his horse in front of a battery of R.H.A. at Norwich (or Ipswich), and the battery going over him at a gallop, the drag-shoe of one of the guns knocked his ear off!” Sir W. Bell resided during the latter part of his life at Ripon, and d. there, unm., 28th March, 1873. Buried at Tanfield. M.I. (The above is from information supplied by the late Gen. W.H. Askwith, R.A.)

He commanded the allied artillery at Vittoria, San Sebastian, the passage of Bidassoa, Nivelle, Nive, and Toulouse. Recd. the gold cross and six clasps. K.T.S.

Thomas Whinyates, of Abbotsleigh, co. Devon. His mother was Catherine, dau. of Adm. Sir Thomas Frankland, 5th Bart., representative of the historic family of “Frankland of Thirkleby,” co. York, which has a direct descent from Oliver Cromwell. Bn. 6th May, 1782. Joined the R.A. 1st March, 1798. Accompanied the expedition, under Abercromby, to the Helder in 1799. Aftds. joined the army under the Duke of York, and took part in the campaign in North Holland. Served at the capture of Madeira in 1801. In 1807 was appointed adj. to the artillery of the army which, under Lord Cathcart, was employed in the attack on Copenhagen, and where he commanded, throughout the siege, one of the principal batteries, which went by the expressive name of the “Churchyard” battery. On his return home was appointed 2nd capt. of Capt. Lefebure’s troop of horse artillery (D troop), and in Feb., 1810, embarked for the Pa. The _Camilla_, of 200 tons, having on board Capt. Whinyates, two officers, and 36 horses, nearly foundered in the Bay of Biscay, and was at last driven back to Cork, almost a wreck. This troop, arriving in the Pa. by detachments, was prevented from taking the field for some time. During the interval Whinyates served on the artillery staff, and was present at the battle of Busaco. His troop took the field before the battle of Albuera, where Whinyates commanded the half-troop which was attached to the cavalry on the right. It was here that some of the severest fighting took place. He was mentioned in public despatches for his conduct in the brilliant attack and defeat of Lallemand’s cavalry at Ribera, 24th July, 1812. Promoted 1st capt. in Jan., 1813, which occasioned his return to England. At Waterloo he had three horses shot under him, was struck by a round shot on the leg, and sev. wnded. in the left arm towards the close of the day. Bt. maj., and a permanent pens. for wounds. The eminent services of Maj.

Served in South America in 1807–1808. His troop came in for the hottest part of the battle on Waterloo Day, and suffered considerably in loss of men and horses. Sir George Wood, R.A., paid the battery a visit on that memorable afternoon, and was surprised to find so many cannon balls whizzing round his ears. “D——n it, Mercer,” he exclaimed, “you seem to be having a hot time of it here.” Hot it was for all parties concerned, but the gallant way in which the gunners worked their guns kept the French cavalry from reaching the infantry squares behind Mercer’s battery. In after years Gen. Mercer published his _Journal of the Waterloo Campaign_, which is a delightful book in every respect. Attained the rank of gen. and col.-comdt., and d. at Cowley Cottage, Exeter, 9th Nov., 1868. Footnote 2: Retired by the sale of his commission 5th April, 1831.

Breton, who had already lost two horses and had mounted a troop horse, was conversing with me during a leisure moment. As his horse stood at right angles to mine, the poor jaded animal dozingly rested his muzzle on my thigh; whilst I, the better to hear amidst the infernal din, leant forward, resting my arm between his ears. In this attitude a cannon ball smashed the horse’s head to atoms, and the headless trunk sank to the ground!” Retd. on h. p. 1st Oct., 1820, and d. at Lyndhurst, 17th March, 1852. MAJOR RAMSAY’S TROOP. Rank in the —————— CAPTAIN. Regiment.│Army. [1] Wm. Norman Ramsay, K. 17 Dec. 1813 │Maj., 22 Nov. 1813 SECOND CAPTAIN. │ [2] Alexander Macdonald, W. 1 Oct. 1812 │ FIRST LIEUTENANTS. │ [3] Wm. Brereton, W. 1 June, 1806 │ [4] Philip Sandilands 1 Feb. 1808 │ [5] Wm. L. Robe, K. 28 June, 1808 │ Footnote 1: This officer’s name has been immortalised by Napier in his _Peninsular War_. He came of a Scottish family, and was the eldest of three sons of a retired naval officer who resided in Edinburgh. He was the pride and glory of the branch of the army to which he belonged, and the beau-ideal of what a Horse Artilleryman should be. He served with great credit in Maj. Bull’s troop of R.H.A., in the Pa., from 1811 to 1813. It was in the campaign of 1811 that he performed the brilliant action which Napier’s facile pen has so strikingly illustrated. This happened on 5th May, 1811, when, the British cavalry out-guards being far outnumbered near Fuentes d’Onor, were driven in upon their supports, and Capt. Ramsay found himself cut off. It is a matter of history how Ramsay, at the head of his battery, charged like a whirlwind through the French squadrons who intervened between his handful of men and the British troops, and rejoined the latter in safety when given up for lost. And at the battle of Vittoria, Ramsay again distinguished himself, but, by an unfortunate act of disobedience to Wellington’s orders, he incurred the Iron Duke’s iron displeasure. The story has been told as follows by a well-known author, and differs somewhat from the account given by Col. Duncan in his _History of the Royal Artillery_:—“I remember hearing a striking instance of what, perhaps, might be called severe justice, which he exercised on a young and distinguished officer of artillery in Spain; and though one cannot help pitying the case of the gallant young fellow who was the sacrifice, yet the question of strict duty, to the very word, was set at rest for ever under the Duke’s command, and it saved much after trouble, by making every officer satisfied, however fiery his courage or tender his sense of being suspected of the white feather, that implicit obedience was the course he must pursue. The case was this: The army was going into action. The Duke posted an officer, with his six guns, at a certain point, telling him to remain there until he had orders from him. Away went the rest of the army, and the officer was left doing nothing at all, which he didn’t like; for he was one of those high-blooded gentlemen who are never so happy as when they are making other people miserable, and he was longing for the head of a French column to be hammering away at. In half an hour or so he heard the distant sound of action, and it approached nearer and nearer, until he heard it close beside him; and he wondered rather that he was not invited to take a share in it, when, pat to his thought, up came an aide-de-camp at full speed, telling him that Gen. Somebody ordered him to bring up his guns. The officer asked, ‘Did not the order come from Lord Wellington?’ The aide-de-camp said ‘No,’ but from the gen., whoever he was. The officer explained that he was placed there by Lord Wellington, under command not to move unless by an order from himself. The aide-de-camp stated that the general’s entire brigade was being driven in, and must be annihilated without the aid of the guns, and asked, ‘Would he let a whole brigade be slaughtered?’ in a tone which wounded the young soldier’s pride, savouring, as he thought it did, of an imputation on his courage. He immediately ordered his guns to move, and joined battle with the general; but while he was away an aide-de-camp from Lord Wellington rode up to where the guns had been posted, and, of course, no gun was to be had for the service which Lord Wellington required. Well, the French were repulsed, as it happened; but the want of those six guns seriously marred a pre-concerted movement of the Duke’s, and the officer in command of them was immediately put in arrest. Almost every general officer in the army endeavoured to get this sentence revoked, lamenting the fate of a gallant fellow being sent away for a slight error in judgment while the army was in full action; but Lord Wellington was inexorable, saying he must make an example to secure himself in the perfect obedience of officers to their orders, and it had the effect.”—Mr. Lover’s _Handy Andy_. To a man of Norman Ramsay’s highly honourable and sensitive nature the circumstances of his arrest, coupled with the omission of his name from the Vittoria despatches, and the loss of a brevet he had well earned, may be said to have inflicted a wound which neither time nor subsequent honours could heal. Three weeks after his arrest he was restored to the command of his battery, to the great joy of the whole army in Spain, and after the battle of the Bidassoa he was promoted bt. maj. At Waterloo he commanded the H Troop R.H.A., and his forward gallantry in that battle attracted the fatal bullet which put an end to his noble life. He was buried on the field by his great friend Sir Augustus Frazer, during a momentary lull in the battle, but three weeks later was disinterred and his body sent to Edinburgh, as the only consolation to his aged father, half-demented with grief, who was fated to lose his three gallant sons in the short space of eight months. Norman Ramsay m., 14th June, 1808, Mary Emilia, eldest dau. of Lt.-Gen. MacLeod, of Macleod. Sir Augustus Frazer erected a monument to Ramsay’s memory on the field of Waterloo. The hero’s remains were subsequently interred in Inveresk Churchyard. Footnote 2: Brother to Gen. Sir John Macdonald, Adjt.-Gen., and to Col. Robert Macdonald, 1st Foot. Aftds.

War with much distinction. “He had the singular honour, as a subaltern, to be mentioned for his distinguished conduct by Wellington, and in consequence the gold medal and clasp for the battles of Nivelle and Nive were forwarded to his family after his death.” An account of his death at Waterloo is given in a letter from Capt. Alex. Macdonald, of Ramsay’s battery, to Sir Wm. Robe. (_See_ Appendix.) LIEUT.-COLONEL SIR HEW D. ROSS’S TROOP. (_The historical “Chestnut Troop.”_) Rank in the —————— CAPTAIN. Regiment.│Army.

Forbes Macbean, formerly comg. 92nd Highlanders, Sergt.-at-Arms to Her late Majesty, for the following interesting particulars regarding his family: “My great-great-grandfather was minister of the High Church (Presbyterian) at Inverness for upwards of forty years. One of his sons (Forbes) was a maj.-gen. of R.A.; two of his sons were—one (Frederick) col.-comg. 6th Foot, the other maj. of the 14th and 71st Regts. The eldest had six sons, all in the army, viz.: Sir William, K.C.B. and K.T.S., gen. and col.-in-chf. 92nd Highlanders; Frederick, K.H., col. 84th Regt.; Forbes, col. R.A.; Archibald, lt.-gen. R.A.; Alfred, capt. 93rd Highlanders; Alexander, lt. 83rd Regt. The last two died young. When their father took the youngest to the Duke of York, C.-in-C., to ask for a commission for him, the duke replied, ‘Yes, and if you had six more sons they should all have commissions.’ In the retreat on Corunna, my uncle Archibald, then in the Horse Artillery, picked up his brother Frederick off the roadside, very seriously wounded, and carried him on a gun-carriage into Corunna, and so saved his life.” Forbes Macbean attained the rank of bt. col., and d.

He extended his hand to me, which I held in mine while I told him of Alexander Gordon’s death. He was much affected. I felt his tears dropping fast upon my hand, and, looking towards him, saw them chasing one another in a stream over his dusty cheeks. He brushed them suddenly away with his left hand, and said to me, in a voice tremulous with emotion—“Well, thank God, I don’t know what it is to lose a battle, but certainly nothing can be more painful than to gain one with the loss of so many of one’s friends.”’”—_Fifty Years’ Biographical Reminiscences_, by Lord William Lennox.

FIELD TRAIN DEPARTMENT OF THE ORDNANCE.[T] Footnote T: The Editor has no means of tracing the war services of the officers of this department, and can only give two Waterloo representatives of the above.

It is, therefore, impossible, to give any correct list of officers belonging to the above department, but the Editor gives the names of six officers who were undoubtedly at Waterloo.

He was present at Waterloo as a spectator, and although Wellington, his personal friend, implored him early in the day to retire to Brussels, the Duke did not beat a retreat until the battle was half over. He was accompanied by his son, Lord William Lennox (a boy of 15), a cornet in the Horse Guards, and extra A.D.C. to Gen. Maitland. By an unfortunate accident, a few days before the battle, Lord William fractured his right arm, and had the sight of one of his eyes destroyed, and although he left his sick bed at Brussels to proffer his services to Gen. Maitland, the latter felt himself obliged to decline them, so the disappointed youth followed his father and another brother to the field, _en amateur_. Gen. Mercer records in his _Waterloo Journal_ how surprised he was to see “a fine, tall, upright old gentleman, in plain clothes, followed by two young ones, come across our front at a gallop, from the Brussels road, and press forward to so hot a fight.” This fine old veteran died from hydrophobia, while holding the appointment of Gov.-Gen. of Canada, 28th Aug., 1819.

(commission dated 11th April, 1816), for the gallantry he displayed at Waterloo, in helping Capt. Clark of the same regt. to capture the Eagle of the 105th French Regt. The following letter, copied from the original in the United Service Museum, throws additional light on the above exploit:— IPSWICH BARRACKS, _31st Jan., 1816_. SIR,—This day Col. Clifton sent for me about the taking the Eagle and colours. He asked me if I had any person that see me take the Eagle; I told him that you see me, I believe, as the officer of the French was making away with it. I belonged to your troop at that time, and you gave me orders to charge him, which I did, and took it from him. When I stated it to him this day he wants to know the particulars about it, and me to rite to you for you to state to him how it was. I would thank you to rite to the Colonel, as you was the nearest officer to me that day. Sir, by so doing you will much oblige,—Your most obedient humble servant, FRANCIS STILES, _Sergt. 1st Royal Drag._ To Lt. Gunning, 1st Dragoons, Cheltenham, Glostershire.

Footnote 2: Captured the Eagle of the 45th French Regt. at Waterloo. This daring act won the admiration of the whole British Army. Ewart was rewarded with an ensigncy in the 5th Royal Veteran Battalion, 22nd Feb., 1816, and on the reduction of this regt. in 1821 he recd. a retiring pens. of 5_s._ 10_d._ per day. He was a native of Kilmarnock. D. at Davyhulme, near Manchester, 17th March, 1846. The _Edinburgh Advertiser_ for 21st June, 1816, has the following:— “Extract of a letter from Sergt. Ewart, of the Scots Greys, dated Rouen, 16th Aug., 1815:— “The enemy began forming their line of battle about nine in the morning of the 18th. They came down to the left, where they were received by our brave Highlanders. No men could ever behave better; our brigade of cavalry covered them. Owing to a column of foreign troops giving way, our brigade was forced to advance to the support of our brave fellows, and which we certainly did in style; we charged through two of their columns, each about 500. It was in the first charge I took the Eagle from the enemy; he and I had a hard contest for it; he thrust for my groin—I parried it off, and I cut him through the head; after which I was attacked by one of their Lancers, who threw his lance at me, but missed the mark by my throwing it off with my sword by my right side; then I cut him from the chin upwards, which cut went through his teeth. Next I was attacked by a foot soldier, who, after firing at me, charged me with his bayonet; but he very soon lost the combat, for I parried it, and cut him down through the head; so that finished the contest for the Eagle. After which I presumed to follow my comrades, Eagle and all, but was stopped by the General saying to me, ‘You brave fellow, take that to the rear; you have done enough until you get quit of it,’ which I was obliged to do, but with great reluctance. I retired to a height, and stood there for upwards of an hour, which gave me a general view of the field, but I cannot express the sight I beheld; the bodies of my brave comrades were lying so thick upon the field that it was scarcely possible to pass, and horses innumerable. I took the Eagle into Brussels, amidst the acclamation of thousands of the spectators that saw it.” On 18th June, 1816, Ensign Ewart, and other Waterloo officers, were entertained at a public banquet in Edinburgh. “Nearly 400 noblemen and gentlemen sat down to an elegant dinner in the Assembly Rooms, the Rt. Hon. Wm. Arbuthnot, Lord Provost of the city, in the chair. After several toasts had been given and duly honoured, Sir Walter (then Mr.) Scott proposed a bumper to the health of Ensign Ewart, late of the Scots Greys, whose bravery was conspicuous where he took a French Eagle, and killed with his own hand three of Napoleon’s guard. The toast was drank with great acclamation, and a general expectation prevailed that Ensign Ewart, who was present, would address the company. After a short pause, the Lord Provost rose, and, at the request of Mr. Ewart, stated how much he felt honoured by this mark of the company’s approbation, but that he would much rather fight the battle over again and take another Eagle, than make a speech.” ------------------ 6TH DRAGOONS.

He served in the campaigns of 1812 to 1815, and was present at the actions in the Pyrenees, capture of San Sebastian, passage of the Bidassoa, Nive, Nivelle, investment of Bayonne, Quatre Bras, and Waterloo. He was commissioned as a quartermaster the 31st Aug., 1815, and retd. with the rank of capt. in Dec., 1855. Living 1876. The following description of the square of the Grenadier Guards during the afternoon of Waterloo day is by Capt. Gronow of that regt., and is certainly worthy of remembrance, exhibiting as it does the desperate heroism of the British resistance:— “During the battle our squares presented a shocking sight. Inside we were nearly suffocated by the smoke and smell from burnt cartridges. It was impossible to move a yard without treading upon a wounded comrade, or upon the bodies of the dead; and the loud groans of the wounded and dying were most appalling. “At four o’clock our square was a perfect hospital being full of dead, dying, and mutilated soldiers. The charges of cavalry were in appearance very formidable, but in reality a great relief, as the artillery could no longer fire on us; the very earth shook under the enormous mass of men and horses. I shall never forget the strange noise our bullets made against the breast-plates of Kellerman’s and Millhaud’s cuirassiers, six or seven thousand in number, who attacked us with great fury. I can only compare it, with a somewhat homely simile, to the noise of a violent hailstorm beating against panes of glass. “The artillery did great execution; but our musketry did not at first seem to kill many men, though it brought down a large number of horses, and created indescribable confusion. The horses of the first rank of cuirassiers, in spite of all the efforts of their riders, came to a standstill, shaking and covered with foam, at about twenty yards’ distance from our squares, and generally resisted all attempts to force them to charge the line of serried steel. On one occasion two gallant French officers forced their way into a gap momentarily created by the discharge of artillery; one was killed by Stables, the other by Adair. Nothing could be more gallant than the behaviour of those veterans, many of whom had distinguished themselves on half the battle-fields of Europe. “In the midst of our terrible fire, their officers were seen as if on parade, keeping order in their ranks, and encouraging them. Unable to renew the charge, but unwilling to retreat, they brandished their swords with loud cries of ‘Vive l’Empereur!’ and allowed themselves to be mowed down by hundreds rather than yield. Our men, who shot them down, could not help admiring the gallant bearing and heroic resignation of their enemies.” Sergt. Robt. Steele. Appointed adjt. 66th Foot 23rd March, 1826.

In the _Standard_ of 5th Jan., 1868, appeared the following obituary notice regarding this gallant soldier:— “DEATH OF A MILITARY KNIGHT, AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—On Sunday last Capt. Samuel Goddard, Military Knight of Windsor, died at his residence in the Lower Ward, Windsor Castle. This veteran and gallant officer was formerly of the 14th or Buckinghamshire Regt. of Foot, and had seen very lengthened service in the army, having served in the campaign of 1815, including the battle of Waterloo and the storming of Cambray; in 1817, in the East Indies, he was present at the siege of Hattrass, and in the campaign of 1817–18, in the Deccan; also at the siege and storming of Bhurtpore, in 1825–26. With the medal so well earned, he was one of the officers receiving rewards for distinguished service; moreover, as having originated the measure by which was accorded to meritorious quartermasters of long service the nominal rank of captain, several of whom, many years since, presented him with a handsome testimonial, expressive of their obligation, and of his efficient aid.” On Waterloo day, Sergt. Goddard was with an advanced party of skirmishers of the 14th, and about four o’clock the reflux wave of some French cuirassiers passed through them. They were, of course, fired at by the 14th skirmishers, and several bit the dust. One poor wounded Frenchman was thrown from his horse, and a comrade nobly returned and offered the soldier the help of his stirrup. An active light infantry man of the 14th, Whitney by name, who had shot one cuirassier, having reloaded, was about to fire at the mounted Frenchman, who was then rescuing his comrade, when Goddard interfered and said, “No, Whitney, don’t fire; let him off, he is a noble fellow.” (Communicated by a friend of Capt. Goddard.) ------------------ 23RD REGIMENT OF FOOT. Charles Grant. Severely wounded at Quatre Bras whilst serving in the ranks. Was acting-quartermaster to the Grenadier Guards in Canada in 1838–39.

Was 32 years in the regt., and received a pension in June, 1841 His medal and bugle are still preserved in the regiment. ------------------ 2ND LIFE GUARDS. [1] Corp. John Shaw, k. [2] Private Samuel Godley. [3] ” Johnson. ” Dakin. ” Hodgson. Footnote 1: The well-known pugilist and “fancy man” of this regt. His prowess when charging with the Life Guards at Waterloo was exemplified by the number of cuirassiers he slew. The little that is known of his early life, and the account of his death at Waterloo, are given in his biography by Lt.-Col. Knollys, who, out of very scanty material, has compiled a very interesting little book. Shaw was born at Woolaston, co. Notts, in 1789, and enlisted 15th Oct., 1807. Footnote 2: Known in the regt. as “Marquis of Granby,” from the fact of his having a bald head. Had his horse shot under him in one of the charges at Waterloo, and was thrown. As he got up, minus his helmet, which had fallen off, a cuirassier rode at him and attempted to cut him down. Godley managed to kill his assailant, and mounting the Frenchman’s horse, rode back to his regt. who welcomed him with shouts of “Well done, Marquis of Granby!” Discharged in 1824. D. in 1831. M.I. St. John’s Wood Cemetery. Footnote 3: Immediately after the first charge of his regt. at Waterloo, when the French cavalry were being pursued by ours, Johnson pursued three cuirassiers who, with a view of escaping, turned down a narrow lane. “There proved to be no thoroughfare at the end of the road, when Johnson, though alone, attacked the three, and, after a slight resistance, they surrendered themselves prisoners.” ------------------ 1ST DRAGOON GUARDS. [1] Troop Sergt.-Maj. Thos. Nicholson, W. [2] Sergt. John Hodgkins. Footnote 1: Received a sabre wound through his body when charging at Waterloo. After being discharged he resided at York, and kept the “Light Horseman” Inn, Fulford Road. D. there, 28th Sept., 1850, aged 66. Footnote 2: Served at Salamanca in a dragoon regt. Aftds. exchanged to 1st D.G. as sergt., and was present at Waterloo. Bought his discharge after 17 years’ service, and recd. a pens. of 6_d._ a day for two years! He was a native of Tipperary, but spent the latter part of his life at Penrith, where he was a well-known figure, being “29 stone in weight, 6 feet 2 inches in height, and 2 feet 4 inches across the shoulders.” D., at Penrith, in 1867, aged 80. ------------------ 2ND DRAGOONS. [1] Troop Sergt.-Maj. Wm. Robertson. [2] Sergt. John Weir, K. [3] Private Thos. Stobo. Footnote 1: A native of Renfrewshire. Aftds. sergt.-major of the Rl. Fifeshire Yeomanry. Was in every charge made by his regt. at Waterloo. D., at Kirkcaldy, in Dec., 1825. Footnote 2: “Sergeant Weir of the Scots Greys was pay-sergt. of his troop, and as such might have been excused serving in action, and perhaps he should not have been forward; but, on such a day as Waterloo, he requested to be allowed to charge with the regt. In one of the charges he fell mortally wounded, and was left on the field. Corporal Scott of the same regt. (who lost a leg) asserts that when the field was searched for the wounded and slain, the body of Sergt. Weir was found with his name written on his forehead by his own hand, dipped in his own blood. This, his comrade said, he was supposed to have done that his body might be found and known, and that it might not be imagined he had disappeared with the money of the troop. John Weir joined the Greys about 1798, and was a native of Mauchline, Ayrshire.”—Copied from a MS. in possession of the regt., and communicated by Capt. G. Tancred. Footnote 3: The oldest soldier in the Greys at Waterloo. Served at Dunkirk under the Duke of York. D. 1852. His brother was aftds. a capt. in the same regt. ------------------ 6TH DRAGOONS.

Footnote 1: “The Enniskilleners charged in line when Marshall’s squadron dashed into the thickest of the enemy’s phalanx, and were cut off from the other troops of the regt. Marshall, while sabreing a cuirassier on his right, had his bridle-arm broken by a stroke from his enemy on his left, and had not proceeded much further when he was beset by another crowd of French cavalry and hurled from his horse by a lance which penetrated his side. While he was falling he received a heavy blow across the body, and another which broke his right thigh. He lay unconscious except when goaded into sensibility by the hoofs of the enemy’s horses passing over his mangled body. The ground afterwards becoming somewhat clear he espied a horse without any rider, towards which he crawled, and was about to mount, when a French trooper galloping up cut him down in the midst of his hopes, inflicting several severe wounds on his body. This part of the field being again occupied by the French, a French artilleryman made Marshall’s body a resting-place for his foot while he rammed his gun. For two days and three nights Marshall remained on the field with 19 lance and sabre wounds. On the regt. returning home he was discharged with 2s. per day. Resided at Belfast, where he was much respected. D. there, 28th Sept., 1825.”—_Scots’ Magazine._ Footnote 2: Born at Enniskillen 14th March, 1792. Fought at Waterloo and in the Kaffir, Sepoy, and Maori wars. Living at Melbourne, Australia, in 1891. ------------------ 7TH HUSSARS. Sergt.-Maj. Edward Cotton. Had his horse killed under him at Waterloo. After being discharged from the regt. he took up his abode at Waterloo, and became a guide to the battlefield. Being a clever and well-educated man, he was able to compile a very interesting little book called _A Voice from Waterloo_, which held its own among the many accounts of the great battle. Besides this he formed a Waterloo Museum, which has always been a great attraction to visitors. In 1875, when the Editor was at Waterloo, the Museum was kept by a niece of the late sergt.-maj., who d. 1st July, 1849, and was bd. in the orchard of Hougomont, by the side of Capt. Blackwood, who fell in the battle. ------------------ 16TH LIGHT DRAGOONS. Sergt.-Maj. Baxter, K. A Pa. hero, mentioned in the records of this regt. ------------------ 18TH HUSSARS. Sergt. John Taylor. Belonged to Capt. Ellis’s troop. In the charge at Waterloo he made a cut at the head of one of the French cuirassiers, which had no other effect on the Frenchman than to induce him to cry out, in derision, “Ha! ha!” and to return a severe blow at the sergt., which was admirably parried, and then Taylor thrust his sabre into the mouth of the cuirassier, who immediately fell, and the conqueror cried, “Ha! ha!” ------------------ COLDSTREAM GUARDS. Sergt. John Graham, Light Company, 2nd Batt. Distinguished himself in the defence of Hougomont, and by his great personal strength was of great assistance in helping to close the courtyard gate against the French. “At a later period of the day, when in the ranks along the garden wall facing the wood, and when the struggle was most severe in that quarter, he asked Lt.-Col. Macdonell’s permission to fall out. The colonel, knowing the character of the man, expressed his surprise at the request made at such a moment. Graham explained that his brother lay wounded in one of the buildings then on fire; that he wished to remove him to a place of safety, and that he would then lose no time in rejoining the ranks. The request was granted; Graham succeeded in snatching his brother from the terrible fate which menaced him, laid him in a ditch in rear of the enclosure, and true to his word, was again at his post.”—Col. Mackinnon’s _History of the Coldstreams_. Was selected in August, 1815, for the pension granted by the Rev. — Norcross, Rector of Framlingham, “to the most deserving soldier at Waterloo.” D., at Kilmainham, 23rd April, 1843. He was a native of Cloona, co. Monaghan. ------------------ 3RD FOOT GUARDS. [1] Sergt.-Maj. Ralph Fraser. [2] ” Brice MʻGregor. Footnote 1: Aided in closing the gate at Hougomont. Served in Egypt in 1801. “In the landing at Aboukir Bay, on 8th March, the boat in which Corporal Fraser was, containing sixty persons, were all destroyed by the enemy’s fire excepting fifteen.” Served in Hanover, at Copenhagen, and in the Pa., and was twice badly wounded. Discharged in Dec., 1818. Aftds. a bedesman in Westminster Abbey. Living in 1861. Footnote 2: A native of Argyllshire. Enlisted at Glasgow in 1799. Aided in barring the door at Hougomont, and being very strong, was of much service in the gallant defence of that farmhouse. Shot a cuirassier dead who attacked him, and rode into the courtyard on the Frenchman’s horse. Discharged in 1821 with a handsome pension. Appointed one of the Yeomen of the Guard. D. 27th Nov., 1816. ------------------ 23RD REGIMENT OF FOOT. Col.-Sergt. Jonathan Thomas. D., at the Union Workhouse, Swansea, in Dec., 1867, aged 85. ------------------ 27TH REGIMENT OF FOOT. Private Thos. Kerrigan. One of the few of this regt. who escaped being blown to pieces when standing in square on the Charleroi road, 18th June, 1815. D., at Calky, near Enniskillen, 3rd Dec., 1862. Is said to have attained the great age of 108. ------------------ 33RD REGIMENT OF FOOT. Private John Riches. Was at the storming of Seringapatam, and is said to have been present at both Quatre Bras and Ligny on 16th June, 1815. Aftds. a Chelsea Hospital pensioner. D., at Attleburgh, in June, 1860. ------------------ 40TH REGIMENT OF FOOT. Sergt. Wm. Lawrence. Born at Bryant’s Piddle, co. Dorset, 1791. Enlisted in the 40th Foot at age of fifteen. Served with the 1st Batt. in the expedition to Monte Video, and throughout the Par. War. Wounded at Badajoz, where he was one of the forlorn hope, and kept six weeks in hospital at Estremos. Soon after made corporal. Earned Lord Wellington’s praise for the gallant manner in which he captured three French cannon, and drove off a score of French artillerymen with only six men of his own regt. Promoted sergt. Narrowly escaped being killed at Waterloo by a French shell, which exploded near Lawrence, “hurling him two yards into the air.” About 4 o’clock P.M. on Waterloo day was ordered to the colours, in defending which an officer and fourteen sergts. had already lost their lives that terrible day. M., when at St. Germains, a Frenchwoman named Marie Louise Claire, who, under Napoleon’s _régime_, had, in common with all other “Marie Louises,” been obliged to change their Christian names, so that the Empress might be the only one of that name in France! Pensioned on 9_d._ a day in 1819. D., at Studland, co. Dorset, 1867. ------------------ 42ND REGIMENT OF FOOT. Private Donald Davidson, W. The following notice appeared in the _Standard_, in April or May, 1867:—“There died at the village of Ardisier, Inverness-shire, a few days ago, an old veteran named Donald Davidson, one of the fast diminishing band of Waterloo heroes. Donald, who, it may be mentioned, had six toes on each foot, was born in the parish of Nairn, Nairnshire, in the year 1792, and enlisted in the 42nd Highlanders in June, 1813. He served with his regt. in the Pa., France, and the Netherlands, from February, 1814, to December, 1816. He was wounded at the battle of Toulouse, and slightly on the head at Quatre Bras. Notwithstanding, he stuck to his regt., and was one of the gallant few who repulsed the grand charge of cavalry in the cornfield at Waterloo. He was discharged with 1_s._ per day of pension, and served for a long time as barrack labourer in Fort George. He d. at the advanced age of 75 years.” ------------------ 52ND REGIMENT OF FOOT. Private Patrick Lowe. Served through the whole of the Par. War, and formed one of the forlorn hope at Badajoz, where he personally captured the governor of the fortress, by which he obtained a large reward. In 1848 he recd. the silver war medal with 13 clasps; but it is said he would never wear this medal, because he had claimed his right to 14 clasps and considered himself injured by receiving one clasp less. He d., at Enniskillen, in 1852, aged 84. ------------------ 69TH REGIMENT OF FOOT. Private John Slater. Born at Ilkeston, co. Derby. Enlisted in the 52nd in 1803. Served through the whole of the Par. War with that regt. Aftds. exchanged into 69th. In 1848 Slater claimed his right to the silver war medal with 14 clasps—one clasp more than Wellington obtained—but only got a medal with 12 clasps. He d. at Nottingham in 1860. ------------------ 92ND REGIMENT OF FOOT. Sergt. Alexander Cameron, Piper Major. Served in the Pa. during the whole of the late war, and for his zeal attracted the attention of several officers of high rank. Lt.-Gen. Sir Wm Erskine, in a letter to a friend, after the affair at Rio del Molinos, says:—“The first intimation the enemy had of our approach was the piper of the 92nd playing ‘Hey, Johnnie Coup, are ye waukin’ yet?’” To this favourite air from Cameron’s pipe the streets of Brussels re-echoed on the night of the 15th June, 1815, when the regt. assembled to march out to the field of Waterloo. It is recorded of this gallant Scot, on the 18th June, 1815, that “not content with piping at the head of his regt. he marched forward with a party of skirmishers, and placing himself on a height, in full view of the enemy, continued to animate by playing favourite national airs.” D. at Belfast 18th Oct., 1817.—_Scots’ Magazine._ ------------------ ROYAL HORSE ARTILLERY. Sergt. Daniel Dunnett. Belonged to Capt. Whinyates’s Rocket Battery. The Waterloo historian (Siborne) gives the following:—“A party of horse artillery proceeded under Capt. Dansey along the Charleroi road, to the front of the centre of the Anglo-allied line, and came into action with rockets near the farm of La Haye Sainte, leaving its two guns in the rear under Lt. Wright. Capt. Dansey very soon received a severe wound which obliged him to retire; and the party, after firing a few rockets, fell back a little to where its horses were standing. It was then commanded by a sergeant (Daniel Dunnett), who, on perceiving the advance of the nearest French column towards the farm, dismounted his men as coolly and deliberately as if exercising on Woolwich Common, though without any support whatever, laid rockets on the ground, and discharged them in succession into the mass, every one of them appearing to take effect. The advance of the column was checked, and was not resumed until Dunnett, having expended all his rockets, retired with his party to rejoin the guns in rear.” APPENDIX. STAFF. Col. C.H. Churchill was son of Maj.-Gen. Horace Churchill, and a descendant of the Earl of Orford. In a letter to his father from “Le Cateau, 24th June, 1815,” Churchill thus graphically describes Napoleon’s final effort at Waterloo:— “It was about four o’clock. The enemy had made great efforts, but our troops foiled them everywhere. We could not follow him; he had retired rather than be beaten back. His position was very strong. About six o’clock we perceived formation columns, cavalry and infantry, formed in a great mass—the enemy’s artillery was brought to a more forward position—and again he began to cannonade us. He opened a fire, the most tremendous ever known, I believe, in the annals of war—250 pieces, very close, throwing shells and round shot, grape, and every instrument of destruction. It is really not exaggeration to say we could not ride quick over the ground for the bodies of men and horses. Under cover of this cannonade advanced Bonaparte at the head of his Imperial Guards; cavalry in a column on the left flank, and the Grenadiers of the Guard on their right flank. They advanced most steadily up to our line in one great mass. They halted and commenced firing. Our troops were literally mowed down. The fire was so great nothing could stand.” The writer then goes on to describe how he had two horses killed under him, and a third disabled by a shot in the knee before the advancing French columns were “licked back.” “The Prussians,” continues Churchill, “now came upon the enemy’s flank, and this obliged them to hurry their retreat.” ------------------ SIR DE LACY EVANS. In Kensal Green Cemetery is a handsome altar monument to the memory of Sir De Lacy Evans, his wife, and his brother, Maj.-Gen. Richard Evans, C.B., Col. of the Madras Grenadier Regt. The epitaph to Sir De Lacy and Lady Evans is as follows:— “Beneath this monument lie the remains of JOSETTE, Lady EVANS, the beloved and deeply mourned wife of Gen. Sir DE LACY EVANS. Born 1787. Died 1861. Here, too, lie the remains of Gen. Sir DE LACY EVANS, G.C.B., Col. of the 21st Rl. N. Brit Fusiliers. Born 1787. Died 1870. He commenced his career in India. Fought under Wellington in the Peninsula and South of France. Served with distinction in America. Was engaged at Quatre Bras and Waterloo. Commanded with marked ability the British Legion in the service of Spain. And in old age nobly led the 2nd British Division in the Crimea. During 30 years he was M.P. for the City of Westminster. An enterprising and skilful commander. An accomplished politician. His comrades mourn the chivalrous soldier, And many friends affectionately cherish his memory.” Letter from Capt. (aftds. Lt.-Gen.) Alexander Macdonald, R.H.A., to Col. Sir W. Robe, K.C.B., R.A., regarding the death of Lt. W. Robe, R.H.A., at Waterloo. From a copy in the possession of Col. F.A. Whinyates, late R.H.A.:— “Amiens, _7th August, 1815_. “MY DEAR SIR WILLIAM,—I should have written to you long ere this had not a wound, which deprived me of the use of my arm, prevented me. As to the fall of your son, and my esteemed friend, I can only say that few young men have left this life more sincerely regretted, and his exertions on the 18th will ever endear his memory to all who witnessed his noble conduct on that day. Major Ramsay’s last words to me were as follows: ‘Did you ever witness such noble conduct as that of Brereton and Robe?’ In short, it is a most painful task to relate the history of a man whose fall I sincerely lament, and I cannot without tears of sorrow think of your son, and my esteemed friend Major Ramsay. About five o’clock on the 18th your son received a mortal wound, and about the same time the following day he died at the village of Waterloo, after twice having taken leave of me in the most friendly and affectionate manner. I was too ill to ask him any questions; indeed, I was so distressed when I saw him at his last moments, that I could only shake him by the hand, and in the course of a few minutes he expired. His remains were interred in a beautiful spot of ground in the village of Waterloo, where I intend to raise a monument to his memory.—Yours most truly, “A. MCDONALD.” ------------------ REMINISCENCES OF WATERLOO [? 1895]. “Our Paris correspondent states that a correspondent of the _Gaulois_ gives an interesting account of a conversation with one of the very few surviving spectators of the battle of Waterloo, a widow named Givron, the hundredth anniversary of whose birth is about to be celebrated in the little village of Viesville, Hainault. She relates that on the morning of the day of the great battle she ran away from her parents and made her way through the woods, being curious to see what was going on. She was close to Hougomont when the place was attacked by the French troops, and remained in hiding for hours, not daring to move. The cannonade having diminished she ventured towards the farm, but fled horror-stricken at the sight—the ground, as she expresses it, being like red mud, so drenched was it with blood. She ran across the fields and reached the Bois de Planchenoit, where she fell asleep, worn out by fatigue and excitement. At dusk she was awakened by the noise of horses’ hoofs, and saw a troop of cavalry, headed by a man of short stature mounted on a curveting grey horse. He was riding slowly on as if in a dream, looking straight ahead and paying no heed to what went on about him. The girl learnt on the same evening from her relatives, when she finally reached home, that the rider was Napoleon. Madame Givron is remarkably active, and is particularly proud of her eyesight, which, she declares, is as good as it was seventy-five years ago. When her daughter Marceline, who, as she says, is only seventy-two, sits down to sew, her mother threads the needles for her. The old lady has had seven children, and her descendants number ninety-two.”—_Morning Post._ ------------------ A CENTENARIAN. Commissary-Gen. Downs writes to the _Army and Navy Gazette_ in July, 1891, as follows:— “Samuel Gibson—an inmate of the Metropolitan Asylum, Caterham—is now in his 101st year. He enlisted about the year 1803 at Sanderage, county Armagh, as a boy in the 27th Regt., his father being at that time a private in the Monaghan militia. Young Gibson accompanied the Inniskillings to the Peninsula and also served with the regt. at Waterloo. He was discharged from the army soon after on a pension of one shilling per diem, which he afterwards commuted, receiving besides, he states, £74. He has been an inmate of Caterham Asylum for some years, and although unable to leave his bed he still enjoys a pipe of tobacco, which he indulges in frequently.” ------------------ INTERESTING SURVIVOR. “In the village of Rolvenden, in the Weald of Kent, there is living an old woman named Moon, who was present at the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo. Her father, a col.-sergt. of the 3rd batt. Rifle Brigade, served throughout the Peninsular war, and took part in the battles of Badajoz, Salamanca, and other conflicts. He died of wounds received at Waterloo some months after the battle and before he had received his pension. Mrs. Moon was born in the Peninsula, her mother doing work for the forces when operating there. Though Mrs. Moon is now infirm, her intellect is clear and her memory good.”—_Morning Post_, 27th March, 1899. NOTE BY THE EDITOR.—Mrs. Barbara Moon d. at Rolvenden in Oct., 1903. It was stated in an obituary notice that she was four years old at the time of the battle of Waterloo and rode in a waggon over the field on the evening of 18th June, 1815. ------------------ THE LAST BRITISH EYE-WITNESS OF WATERLOO. Elizabeth Watkins, of Norwich, born 31st Jan., 1810, at Beaminster, near Bridport. Her father, one Daniel Gale, was pressed into the King’s service just before Waterloo. Gale’s wife and child followed him to Brussels and were in the women’s camp near the field of Waterloo. The child remembers cutting up lint—saw many dead, and some stirring incidents of the battle. (_Notes and Queries_, 5th Dec., 1903). A portrait of Elizabeth Watkins recently appeared in _The Sphere_. ------------------ AN EYE-WITNESS OF WATERLOO. _From a Correspondent._ In a small cottage at the little village of Chapelle, within eye-shot of the meeting-place of Wellington and Blücher after the most tremendous and fateful struggle in the world’s history, there was living on June 18, 1815, a little girl, Thérèse Roland, thirteen years of age, who witnessed all that took place on that historic day. Eighty-nine years later she is still living there, a widow now, with her two sons of eighty and seventy-eight, herself a bowed and wrinkled old dame of 103 years. This aged peasant, with faculties still clear and memory unimpaired, is probably the only living witness of the death-blow dealt to all Napoleon’s hopes on that midsummer day, which moulded the future history of an entire continent, and altered the balance of power of the entire world. A representative of the _Patrie_ has recently visited the battlefield, and obtained from this interesting old character, now Mme. Dupuis, some reminiscences of much that happened that day. She says:— “As a little girl, stirred and fascinated by the long lines of horsemen, guns, and tired foot regiments passing our cottage, I stood at our door and served out water to the ‘beaux soldats.’ Afterwards I followed them to Waterloo. In the evening we heard the booming of great cannon, and from the windows I could see the clouds of smoke rising into the air like trees. I was in the mill, and the windows rattled. All night long we heard the tramp of silent men and the creaking, stumbling guns passing our doors. When I looked out next morning I saw wounded men lying by the roadside. In the distance I could hear a sound like a rough sea breaking against the rocks. There were clouds of smoke, and I saw men galloping, and masses of my brave soldiers moving hurriedly across the fields. Then the doctors came, and took out the bullets from the wounds of the soldiers.... The Prussians came by, and then the English, shouting their cries of victory. “Not far away soldiers were digging trenches in our fields to bury the dead. There were so many of them, so many of them”—and the old peasant covered her face with her hands as though to shut out the terrible picture. “I saw one woman of Gotarville cut off the fingers of a Prussian officer, sorely hurt but still living, to secure the jewelled rings that he wore. “At Planchenoit, a little further away, they tell me that the brave French were so beaten down by bayonet charges that the river ran with blood. Near the hill above a general was killed. “No; I did not see Napoleon, and I still regret it. Poor Napoleon!... We did not like the English or the Prussians.... The next day we knew that Napoleon’s power was broken, by the lines we heard the people singing,”—and raising herself in her chair, the tottering old dame sang in a feeble voice:— Les cannoniers bombardaient à feu et à flamme, Les cuirassiers, les gardes d’honneur, sont renversés, Bonaparte, enfin voilà ta fin. Il faut te rendre— Te voilà battu, convaincu, tu n’en peux plus! _Pall Mall Gazette._ 18th June, 1904. INDEX TO COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Abercromby, Hon. A., 7, 33, 107 Acheson, Hon.
