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.

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST EDITION.
.pm start_poem
Ah! Je les tiens donc, ces Anglais!—Napoleon.
.pm end_poem
.sp 2
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,
.bn 010.png
.pn +1
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:—
.pm start_poem
“For the French are on the sea,
Says the Shan Van Vaugh,
And Ireland will soon be free,
Says the Shan Van Vaugh.”
.pm end_poem
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
.bn 011.png
.pn +1
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
.bn 012.png
.pn +1
“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
.bn 013.png
.pn +1
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
.bn 014.png
.pn +1
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]

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”

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.

F.-M. Arthur, Duke of Wellington, K.G., G.C.B., &c.
.in 4
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

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

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,

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.

“The strongest man in the British Army,” who is said to “have slain
more men at Waterloo than any other single individual.” Was taken
prisoner on the 18th June, but rescued by some of our cavalry sent by
Wellington himself for the purpose. 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
.bn 029.png
.pn +1
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.

Son of Thos. Picton, of Poyston, co. Pembroke. The leader of the

hand in hand with this heroic leader, whose memory is so dear to every
Briton. Received a probably mortal wound at Quatre Bras but
concealed the fact from everyone, excepting an old servant, in order
that he might be present at what he foresaw was to be a tremendous
struggle. Fell whilst gloriously leading a charge of infantry to repel
“one of the most serious attacks made by the enemy on our position.”
It is said that on the morning of the 18th June, one of the first questions
asked by Napoleon of his Staff was: “Où est la division de Picton?”
A few hours later, the broken ranks and decimated companies of many
French regts. answered the question. Picton’s body was conveyed to
England and interred in the burial ground of St. George’s, Hanover

MAJOR-GENERAL.
Sir Colquhoun Grant, K.C.B., W.
.in 4
“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

Major-Gen. Peregrine Maitland.
.in 4
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,

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

Hussars were approaching two squares of the Old Guard at Waterloo,
Gen. Vivian rode up to the regt. with the brief address: “Eighteenth,

force, he attacked a large part of the French army, in a strong position,

In 1819 was on the staff in Ceylon, and in 1824 was appointed Gov. of

DEPUTY QUARTERMASTER-GENERAL.
Col. Sir Wm. Howe De Lancey, K.C.B., K.
.in 4
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.

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,

Lt. Basil Jackson, Rl. Staff Corps.
.in 4
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
.bn 055.png
.pn +1
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.
.in
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.
.in 4
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.

This officer had been taken prisoner during the preceding war, and
been kept a prisoner for seven years at Verdun, in France. In the first
charge made by the Life Guards at Waterloo, Lt. Story was in the act of
raising his sword to cut down a French soldier, when the latter suddenly
threw down his firelock and thus accosted him: “Monsieur, ne me tuez
pas; je vous connois à Verdun; sauvez-moi la vie en grâce!” Story
immediately recognised the speaker, and not only spared the French
soldier’s life, but likewise that of his comrade—also from Verdun—and
sent them as prisoners to the rear. In May, 1815, Story obtained permission
from the Prince Regent to accept and wear the Russian Order of St. Vladimir
of the 4th class. Retired about 1825, and d. at Maidenhead 20th Feb., 1828.

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

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.

“Hero” is plainly visible.

Second son of Sergt.-Major Wm. Anderson of the 21st Fusiliers. Born
in camp at Tayantroga, America, 4th July, 1777, and bapt. 28th Aug. same
year. On the return of the 21st to Scotland the sergt.-major was discharged
with a pension and settled at his native city, Glasgow. Gen. James Inglis
Hamilton, the colonel of the 21st, who was a Lanarkshire man, being on a
visit to Glasgow some years later, happened to meet his former sergt.-major
and gave him money for educational purposes. Later on he took little
James Anderson to his family seat at Murdestoun and introduced him to his
maiden sister Miss Christina Hamilton. The general and his sister educated
James Anderson and his brothers at Glasgow Grammar School. Through
his patron’s army interest James Anderson was appointed Cornet in the
Scots Greys at the age of fifteen under the name of James Inglis Hamilton.

Waterloo, and he snatched the reins with his mouth (Col. Clerke’s letter to
the Misses Anderson). Hamilton’s body was found on the field—shot
through the heart in addition to other wounds, and rifled. His trusty sword
was gone, but the scabbard and silken sash remained. These relics were
transmitted to Lieut. Jno. Anderson, the colonel’s brother, who d. at Glasgow
3rd Dec., 1816, from wounds recd. at Salamanca. The Treasury remitted
£200 to the Misses Anderson in Dec., 1829; and the Waterloo Fund gave

There is some doubt as to whether this officer was actually present at
Waterloo, as in a contemporary list of officers of the Scots Greys who served
at this battle, in the handwriting of Lieut. J.R.T. Graham of this regt.,
Lieut. Falconar is noted as being “on baggage guard at Brussels.” It is
noticeable, however, that Falconar’s name appears in the original “Waterloo
Muster-roll” of the regt. given in Part II.; and it may be that he re-joined
the Greys before the close of the battle. Placed on h. p. 25th March, 1816.

Graham family received and sheltered Prince Charles Edward at Barrock,
after his defeat at Penrith, in Dec., 1745, for a night. The old chair in
which the Prince slept, and the remains of his plaid (which plaid he gave
Mrs. Graham when he thanked her on leaving in the morning), are now in
the possession of Miss Graham, to whom the Editor is indebted for the

Aftds. Maj.-Gen. Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby, K.C.B. and K.M.T.,
Gov. of Malta. 2nd son of Frederick, 3rd Earl of Bessborough, by Lady
Henrietta, 2nd dau. of 1st Earl Spencer. Bn. 6th July, 1783. Cornet
10th Lt. Dgns. 1800. Maj. 23rd Lt. Dgns. 1807. At head of this regt.
distinguished himself at Talavera, in 1809. Lt.-col. of the regt. 1810. 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. D. 11th Jan., 1837.

Col. 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.

able to return it, he put it into the breast of his jacket, and thus providentially

The death permitted to the brave;
Mourn not; he lies where soldiers lie,

Of soldier’s hardships, soldier’s fame!
And his the wish by arms to rise,
And gain a proud, a deathless name.”

Bn. 20th Aug., 1795. Eldest son of Wm. Beckwith, of Trimdon, co.
Durham, by Caroline, dau. of John Nesham, of Houghton-le-Spring. Served
in the Pa. with 16th Lt. Dgns. In 1831, as maj. of the 14th Lt. Dgns.,
greatly distinguished himself by the presence of mind and determination
he showed in suppressing the Bristol riots. These riots were not suppressed
until many of the ringleaders and their followers had perished, some being
cut down by the cavalry when charging through the streets, but by far the
greater number being burnt to death, when intoxicated, in the conflagration
that devastated part of the city. Before the arrival of the squadron of the
14th Lt. Dgns. at Bristol the only available military force was a troop of
the 3rd Dgn. Gds., which was ordered to protect the city gaol. The captain
of this troop remained in his quarters, and allowed a cornet of only sixteen
months’ service to command the troop on this special service. It is recorded
of this young officer, Cornet Charles Kelson, that when riding with his troop
through the slums of Bristol a burly blacksmith rushed out of his shop,
sledge-hammer in hand, and aimed a blow at the officer’s head. As the
smith bent his head with the weight of the hammer the subaltern’s sword
flashed through the air, and the Goliath’s head rolled on the ground. Beckwith
was a K.H., and at his death a Gen. and Col.-in-Chf. 14th Hussars.

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

Afterwards F.-M. Sir Alexander Woodford, G.C.B. and G.C.M.G. Elder
brother to Col. John G. Woodford (see #Staff:woodford#). 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.
Col.-in-Chf. 40th Foot, 1842. Transferred to the Scots Fusilier
Guards 15th Dec., 1861. D. 26th Aug., 1870.
.fn-

Afterwards Gen. Sir James Macdonell, G.C.B. and K.C.H., Col.-in-Chf.
71st Highland L.I. Was 3rd son of Duncan Macdonell, of Glengarry, and
bn. at the family seat in Inverness-shire. 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. C.B. and K.M.T. for Waterloo. D. 15th May, 1859.

The historian of the Coldstream Guards, 2nd son of Wm. M’Kinnon, who

was daughter of the late Gen. Sir H. Clinton, Commander-in-Chief of the
British forces in America. Served with his regt. in the Pa. from 1809 to the
close of the war, and was badly wounded before Bayonne when the French
made a sortie from that town. Bn. 1788. M., 1821, eldest dau. of Thos.
Duncombe, of Copgrove, co. York, and had issue. D. in Nov., 1864.
.fn-
.fn 18.5
2nd son of Arthur, 1st Visct. Gosford, by Millicent, dau. of Lt.-gen.
Edward Pole. Col. Acheson was ordered to defend a certain part of the
wood at Hougomont on Waterloo Day. “The enemy made a tremendous
attack, and, at the first charge, the colonel’s horse was shot dead. He fell
under his horse, and was considerably stunned by the fall, in which situation
he must have lain some time, as the enemy had passed and repassed, regarding
him as dead. When he had recovered he found himself a prisoner by
the weight of his horse. He extricated himself with difficulty by drawing
his leg out of his boot.” D. unm. 24th July, 1828.
.fn-

Afterwards Gen. Sir H. Wyndham, K.C.B., M.P. for Cumberland and
Col.-in-Chf. 11th Hussars. Natural son of 3rd Earl of Egremont. Was in
eight general engagements in the Pa. “Seeing the carriage of Jerome

to the Egremont estates. D. s. p. at Cockermouth Castle, 2nd Aug. 1860,

Afterwards Gen. Sir George Bowles, K.C.B., Col.-in-Chf. 1st West India
Regt. and Lieut. of the Tower of London. 2nd son of Wm. Bowles, of Heale
House, Wilts. Served in North Germany in 1805–1806, under Lord Cathcart.
Present at the siege and capture of Copenhagen in 1807. Served in
the Pa., and was present at most of the general actions. Bt.-maj. for
Waterloo. Master of the Household to the Queen 1845–1851. D. in London
21st May, 1876.
.fn-
.fn 18.8
Quitted the service in 1823. It appears from Plantagenet Harrison’s
History of Yorkshire, that the family of “Sowerby” dates back to the
reign of Henry I., when one “Sueni” was “Lord of Sowerby” in Cumberland.
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.

Afterwards Gen. W.L. Walton, Col.-in-Chf. 5th Fusiliers. Son of the
Dowager Lady Strachan. Served forty years in the Coldstream Guards, six

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.
Was son of Gen. Andrew Cowell, Lt.-col. Coldstream Guards, of Coleshill,
Bucks, by Martha Justine, younger dau. of Sir T. Stepney, Bart., of Llanelly
(widow of Sir F. Head, Bart.). Took the additional surname of Stepney by

.fn-

The family of Hotham has furnished some distinguished officers to both
our army and navy—especially to the latter service. 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. Lord Hotham, who served in the Pa., and was wounded at Salamanca,
was eldest son of Col. Beaumont Hotham, of the Coldstreams, by Philadelphia,
dau. of Sir John Dyke, Bart. Bn. 9th Aug., 1794. Lt.-col. unattached,

In his heart-blood was set.”

“Hail, youthful Ashton, in thy field of blood!
Thou bloom of honour gathered in the bud!
Thy prime career of martial life began
With spirit fit to shine in glory’s van;
Comrades who groan’d to see thee yield thy breath,
Yet almost envied thy heroic death.
Accept thy country’s praise! thy mother’s tears!
Whose heavenly sorrow Heaven itself reveres!
Kissing in agony affliction’s rod,
She yields her pride unmurm’ring to her God.”

The 3rd Batt. of the Royal Scots, which was reduced in 1817, distinguished
itself in a particular manner at Quatre Bras. “Being removed
from the centre of the 5th Division, it charged and routed a column of the
enemy. It was then formed in a square to receive the cavalry, and though
repeated attacks were made, not the slightest impression was produced.
Wherever the lancers and cuirassiers presented themselves they found a stern
and undismayed front which they vainly endeavoured to penetrate.” Mudford’s

This regt. had just returned from active service in America and landed
at Ostend a few days before Waterloo was fought. In fact, Gen. Lambert’s
brigade only reached Waterloo by a forced march just as the battle was
commencing. 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.
