-
- -------
-
-
-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.
-
- _Ah! Je les tiens donc, ces Anglais!_—NAPOLEON.
-
-
-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]

-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.

- 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

- British army in the Crimea in Nov., 1854. D. in the Crimea during

- 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

- ‘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

- history known to every Briton. Wounded in the right knee during the

- 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.

-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?’”

-
- 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

- 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

-
-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.”

- 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

-
-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. Miss Dewar, of Clapham,

- Dorville, the late possessor, the last male representative of an
- ancient family, on every page of whose eventful career in the navy the
- word “Hero” is plainly visible.

-
- 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

-Footnote 1:
-
- 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.
-
-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

- Waterloo. He d. at Brompton 11th Aug., 1823, aged 59.
-

- Son of Col. P. Doherty. Promoted maj. in this regt. 8th Dec., 1818. D.

- 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. The Clan Alester of Kintyre and the Isles is one of
- the oldest in Scotland.

- flattened by the interposition of his watch. He had taken out his

- not being able to return it, he put it into the breast of his jacket,

-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.

- Afterwards F.-M. 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

- 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.

- 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

- Quitted the service in 1823. It appears from Plantagenet Harrison’s

- Has barely a title to appear in this list, as he was taken ill the

- 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

-Footnote H:
-
- At the close of the Par. 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.

- 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. M. 4th Aug., 1831, Susan, dau. of

-Footnote J:
-
- This regt. was for many years known as the “Slashers.” This name is
- said to have been first given in the early part of the American War,
- when the regt. had swords, which they used to some purpose. 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.

-
- 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.

-Footnote 1:
-
- This gallant officer received the thanks of Sir Thomas Picton for his
- services at Quatre Bras where he (Hamilton) was sev. wnded. After the
- battle it was thought necessary to amputate his leg; and three times
- had the tourniquet encircled his limb, preparatory to amputation, when
- each time the surgeon was called elsewhere. It was then decided to let
- the leg take its chance, and Hamilton eventually recovered. C.B. for
- Waterloo. Quitted the service in 1829 with rank of Col. All his
- service had been spent in “the old three tens,” as the 30th were
- called, and he had fought with them in Egypt and in the Pa. Had the
- gold medal for Salamanca. D. at Woolwich, 4th June, 1838. In his
- obituary notice, given in the _United Service Journal_, it is stated
- that he was nearly related to the noble house of Lothian. Whatever
- family he may have belonged to, he did it credit. He left a widow and
- two sons.

-
- It appears that this officer acted as an additional A.D.C. to Gen. Sir
- T. Picton, at Waterloo. At the second funeral of Picton in St. Paul’s
- Cathedral one of the mourners was the Rev. Dr. MʻNabb, from Canada,
- nephew of the above. The antiquity of the MʻNabb is delightfully
- illustrated by the well-known remark of one of their clan that “at the

- Brother to the great tragedian. Joined the 2nd Batt. 30th Foot, as a

- Holland. 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,

-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.

-
- In 1793 the Hon. Arthur Wellesley was appointed lt.-col. of this regt.
- and commanded it for nearly ten eventful years. 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:
-
- The death of Sir R. 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.

- the moment of victory. He had m., 11th April, 1818, Eliza., dau. of J.
- 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. This gallant officer’s claymore
- (an Andrea Ferrara) is in the possession of his grand-daughters, the
- Misses Murray Menzies.

- The following obituary notice appeared in the _Illustrated London
- News_ in Feb., 1855:—“This highly-distinguished officer died on the
- 27th ult., at Orchardstown, his country residence in Tipperary, after
- a short illness. 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

- 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. Placed on h. p.

-Footnote 20:
-
- One of the greatest heroes of the Par. War. 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. D. 28th Apr., 1850 at Ballymuir, Ireland.

- Educated at R.M. College, Great Marlow. A commission was given to him
- in 1810 in recognition of his father’s services. Served in the Pa.,
- and led the ladder party of the stormers of the 52nd at Badajoz. An
- extract from his journal is given in Moorsom’s _Records of the 52nd
- Regiment_, and graphically describes _the_ crisis of Waterloo. If Col.
- Gawler claims the whole credit for the 52nd, he is at one with the
- rest of the officers of that gallant regt. The truth seems to be that
- there were two distinct columns of Napoleon’s Guards launched against
- our troops at the close of Waterloo, and that whilst one was met and
- routed by our Guards in the centre, the other was attacked in flank by
- the 52nd and hurled back. Promoted from the 52nd to an unattached

- Lt.-Col. Arthur Jones, C.B., late of the 71st Highland L.I. This
- officer was appointed Ensign 36th Foot, 1st Jan., 1795; Lt. 71st Foot
- 5th Oct., 1795; Capt., 24th March, 1803; Maj., 22nd June, 1809; and

- In August, 1805, he sailed, with the expedition under Lt. Gen. Sir D.
- Baird, for the Cape of Good Hope; he was present with the regt. at the
- action on the 8th Jan., 1806; and also at the surrender of the town
- and castle of Cape Town on the 10th. He embarked at the Cape in April
- following, with his regt., on the expedition to South America, under
- Gen. Beresford. 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. He served under the late Sir John Moore in
- Spain; was present the whole of that campaign, and at the battle of
- Corunna. He embarked in July, 1809, on the expedition to the Scheldt,
- and was present at the siege of Flushing; he returned with his regt.
- to England in December, and in May, 1810, was ordered to join the 2nd
- batt. in Scotland; and shortly after the command of the batt. devolved
- on him. 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. In Feb., 1815, he embarked with the
- 71st Light Infantry for North America, but was countermanded, and they
- proceeded in April to Belgium, and he was present with it at the
- battle of Waterloo. He remained with the regt., which formed part of
- the Army of Occupation, until October, 1818, when he embarked with it
- for England, and for Ireland in May, 1822. The command of the regt.
- devolved on him in May, 1824, when he embarked with it for North
- America, and was promoted lt.-col., 2nd June, 1825; he remained in
- command of the regt. till June, 1831. Lt.-Col. Jones was wounded when
- capt. at the battle of Vimiero; and wounded severely when bt. lt.-col.
- at the battle of Waterloo, late in the evening. For his services, and
- particularly for his conduct at Waterloo, stated by Maj.-Gen. Sir F.
- Adam (then Commander of the 3rd British Light Brigade) in a letter to
- the Duke of Wellington, and from his Grace’s recommendation in
- consequence, Lt.-Col. Jones was appointed a Companion of the Bath.”

- renown, who was created a baron in Aug., 1815. Bn. 17th Jan., 1782.
- Served under his father in India, and was one of the first to enter
- the breach at Seringapatam. 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

- 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

-Footnote M:
-
- The Cameron Highlanders were raised in Jan., 1794, by Lt.-Gen. 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.

-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.

- In 1816 the Rl. Waggon Train took up a new position in the _Army
- List_, viz., after the cavalry and newly-raised corps, the “Staff
- Corps of Cavalry,” so called to distinguish it from the “Royal Staff
- Corps,” which followed in the wake of the Rifle Brigade. 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.

- again embarked for active service in Holland. Commanded the artillery
- of the expedition against Buenos Ayres, and was present at the assault

- 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.

- 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

-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

- 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.”

- 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

-Footnote V:
-
- The col.-in-chf. of this regt. was Charles, 4th Duke of Richmond,
- K.G., a gen. and gov. of Plymouth. 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.

-SIR,—This day Col. Clifton sent for me about the taking the Eagle and

-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

-
- “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.”

- Sergt. John Payne.
-
-Afterwards Capt. J. Payne, late quartermaster of the Grenadier Guards.
-Served in Sicily in 1806–7 and in Spain in 1808–9, and was present in
-several actions, including Corunna. He was also at Walcheren. 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,

-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. Samuel Goddard (3rd Batt.).
-
-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.)

- [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.”

-
-Footnote 2:
-
- Served at Salamanca in a dragoon regt. Aftds. exchanged to 1st D.G. as

- 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,

- 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 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

-
- 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,

-
-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!”

-
- 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

- 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

-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.”

-
-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.”

-“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,

- 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._

-
-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

- 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!

-
-1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be

-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
-Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country outside the United States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
-immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
-prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
-on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
- This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
- most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
- restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
- under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
- eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
- United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
- are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
-either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
