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.

On the return of the 21st to Scotland the sergt.-major was discharged with a pension and settled at his native city, Glasgow. Gen. James Inglis Hamilton, the colonel of the 21st, who was a Lanarkshire man, being on a visit to Glasgow some years later, happened to meet his former sergt.-major and gave him money for educational purposes. Later on he took little James Anderson to his family seat at Murdestoun and introduced him to his maiden sister Miss Christina Hamilton. The general and his sister educated James Anderson and his brothers at Glasgow Grammar School. Through his patron’s army interest James Anderson was appointed Cornet in the Scots Greys at the age of fifteen under the name of James Inglis Hamilton. (Old Reminiscences of Glasgow, Vol. I.)

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

2.Promoted lt.-col. of the regt. 20th July, 1815. C.B. Retd. 11th Oct., 1821. D. at St. Peter’s, Isle of Thanet, 7th Jan., 1850, aged 76.

12.Promoted capt. 20th July, and placed on h. p. 25th March, 1816.

13.There is some doubt as to whether this officer was actually present at Waterloo, as in a contemporary list of officers of the Scots Greys who served at this battle, in the handwriting of Lieut. J.R.T. Graham of this regt., Lieut. Falconar is noted as being “on baggage guard at Brussels.” It is noticeable, however, that Falconar’s name appears in the original “Waterloo Muster-roll” of the regt. given in Part II.; and it may be that he re-joined the Greys before the close of the battle. Placed on h. p. 25th March, 1816. D. at Woodcot, co. Haddington, 15th Sept., 1820.

14.Promoted capt. 10th Oct., 1816, and Maj. 10th June, 1826. H. p. 1827.

The reredos in Stanwix Church, Cumberland, was erected in memory of Major Graham. It is an interesting historical fact that the Graham family received and sheltered Prince Charles Edward at Barrock, after his defeat at Penrith, in Dec., 1745, for a night. The old chair in which the Prince slept, and the remains of his plaid (which plaid he gave Mrs. Graham when he thanked her on leaving in the morning), are now in the possession of Miss Graham, to whom the Editor is indebted for the above details of her father and ancestors. It is said that the Prince fought at Culloden in someone else’s plaid—having given away his own.

1.Aftds. Maj.-Gen. Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby, K.C.B. and K.M.T., Gov. of Malta. 2nd son of Frederick, 3rd Earl of Bessborough, by Lady Henrietta, 2nd dau. of 1st Earl Spencer. Bn. 6th July, 1783. Cornet 10th Lt. Dgns. 1800. Maj. 23rd Lt. Dgns. 1807. At head of this regt. distinguished himself at Talavera, in 1809. Lt.-col. of the regt. 1810. At Barossa, with a squadron of German dragoons, he charged the French cavalry covering the retreat, overthrew them, and took two guns. Lt.-Col. 12th Lt. Dgns. 1811. Again signally distinguished himself at the battles of Salamanca and Vittoria. His experiences at Waterloo were almost unique, as when lying grievously wnded. on the field, after a most gallant charge, in the French lines, a lancer who was passing by and saw Ponsonby move, exclaimed: “Tu n’est pas mort, coquin,” and struck his lance through the English officer’s back. “My head dropped” (wrote Ponsonby in his subsequent narrative of his experiences), “the blood gushed into my mouth, a difficulty of breathing came on, and I thought all was over.” But the bitterness of death was not yet past. Soon after, a tirailleur came up and roughly searched him all over, robbing Ponsonby of what money he had about him. He was hardly quit of this scoundrel before another appeared with the same intent. At last a good Samaritan appeared in the shape of a French officer, who administered brandy to the apparently dying Englishman, and then passed on “to pursue the retreating British”! What followed is best given in Ponsonby’s own words: “Presently another tirailleur appeared, who came and knelt and fired over me, loading and firing many times, and conversing with great gaiety all the while. At last he ran off.” The evening came, and with it the Prussians. “Two squadrons of Prussian cavalry, both of them two deep, passed over me in full trot, lifting me from the ground and tumbling me about cruelly. A German soldier, bent on plunder, came and pulled me about roughly before he left me.” An English private next appeared, and on Ponsonby telling him who he was, the soldier picked up a sword and stood sentry over him. Next morning Ponsonby was removed in a cart to a farmhouse, and laid in a bed from which poor Sir A. Gordon had just been carried out dead. Col. Ponsonby had received seven wounds; a surgeon slept in his room, and he was saved by continual bleeding—120 ounces in two days, besides the great loss of blood on the field.—Narrative. M., 1825, Emily, youngest dau. of 3rd Earl Bathurst, and had issue. D. 11th Jan., 1837.

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.

Carter.) K.H. Attained the rank of maj., and d. at Dublin in Dec., 1835.

“Weep not; he died as heroes die,
The death permitted to the brave;
Mourn not; he lies where soldiers lie,

In 1831, as maj. of the 14th Lt. Dgns., greatly distinguished himself by the presence of mind and determination he showed in suppressing the Bristol riots. These riots were not suppressed until many of the ringleaders and their followers had perished, some being cut down by the cavalry when charging through the streets, but by far the greater number being burnt to death, when intoxicated, in the conflagration that devastated part of the city. Before the arrival of the squadron of the 14th Lt. Dgns. at Bristol the only available military force was a troop of the 3rd Dgn. Gds., which was ordered to protect the city gaol. The captain of this troop remained in his quarters, and allowed a cornet of only sixteen months’ service to command the troop on this special service. It is recorded of this young officer, Cornet Charles Kelson, that when riding with his troop through the slums of Bristol a burly blacksmith rushed out of his shop, sledge-hammer in hand, and aimed a blow at the officer’s head.

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.

3.Younger son of Joseph FranÇois Louis de Lautour, who came of an old Alsatian family, for many years a banker at Madras. Served in the Pa. with the 11th Lt. Dgns., and specially distinguished himself at El Bodon. On 7th Sept., 1812, when in command of a squadron of 11th Dgns., he attacked and took prisoners a company of French artillery near Valladolid. At Waterloo he succeeded to the command of the above regt. early in the day, and later on, same day, to the command of the brigade. C.B., and K.H., and bt. of lt.-col.

1.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 received the gold cross and one clasp. Was also K.M.T., and K. St. G. of Russia. Filled high commands in the Ionian Islands and elsewhere. Col.-in-Chf. 40th Foot, 1842. Transferred to the Scots Fusilier Guards 15th Dec., 1861. D. 26th Aug., 1870.

2.Afterwards Gen. Sir James Macdonell, G.C.B. and K.C.H., Col.-in-Chf. 71st Highland L.I. Was 3rd son of Duncan Macdonell, of Glengarry, and bn. at the family seat in Inverness-shire. Served in the Pa. and also at Maida, for which he recd. the gold medal. Macdonell’s gallant defence of Hougomont is a matter of history. More than once was the place nearly taken by the French. “The French, however,” says Siborne, in his graphic account of the battle of Waterloo, “succeeded in forcing the gate; but the defenders betook themselves to the nearest cover, whence they poured a fire upon the intruders, and then rushing forward a struggle ensued which was distinguished by the most intrepid courage on both sides. At length Lt.-col. Macdonell, Capt. Wyndham, Ensigns Gooch and Hervey, and Sergt. Graham, of the Coldstream Guards, by dint of great personal strength and exertions, combined with extraordinary bravery and perseverance, succeeded in closing the gate against their intruders.” The struggle for the possession of Hougomont went on the whole day until the French retreat set in late in the evening. C.B. and K.M.T. for Waterloo. D. 15th May, 1859.

3.The historian of the Coldstream Guards, 2nd son of Wm. M’Kinnon, who was a direct descendant of Lachlan M’Kinnon, of the Isle of Skye, who was made a Knight Banneret by Charles II. on the field of Worcester. Maj. in above regt. 22nd June, 1826, bt.-col. same date. M. a dau. of John Dent, and d. s. p. 22nd June, 1836.

4.Eldest son of Henry Dawkins, of Over-Norton, co. Oxford. His mother was daughter of the late Gen. Sir H. Clinton, Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in America. Served with his regt. in the Pa. from 1809 to the close of the war, and was badly wounded before Bayonne when the French made a sortie from that town. Bn. 1788. M., 1821, eldest dau. of Thos. Duncombe, of Copgrove, co. York, and had issue. D. in Nov., 1864.

5.2nd son of Arthur, 1st Visct. Gosford, by Millicent, dau. of Lt.-gen. Edward Pole. Col. Acheson was ordered to defend a certain part of the wood at Hougomont on Waterloo Day. “The enemy made a tremendous attack, and, at the first charge, the colonel’s horse was shot dead. He fell under his horse, and was considerably stunned by the fall, in which situation he must have lain some time, as the enemy had passed and repassed, regarding him as dead. When he had recovered he found himself a prisoner by the weight of his horse. He extricated himself with difficulty by drawing his leg out of his boot.” D. unm. 24th July, 1828.

6.Afterwards Gen. Sir H. Wyndham, K.C.B., M.P. for Cumberland and Col.-in-Chf. 11th Hussars. Natural son of 3rd Earl of Egremont. Was in eight general engagements in the Pa. “Seeing the carriage of Jerome Bonaparte in the wake of the general retreat of the French at Waterloo, he made a dashing attempt to capture Napoleon’s brother, but Jerome leaped out by one door while Wyndham opened the other.” Succeeded, in 1845, to the Egremont estates. D. s. p. at Cockermouth Castle, 2nd Aug. 1860, aged 70.

7.Afterwards Gen. Sir George Bowles, K.C.B., Col.-in-Chf. 1st West India Regt. and Lieut. of the Tower of London. 2nd son of Wm. Bowles, of Heale House, Wilts. Served in North Germany in 1805–1806, under Lord Cathcart. Present at the siege and capture of Copenhagen in 1807. Served in the Pa., and was present at most of the general actions. Bt.-maj. for Waterloo. Master of the Household to the Queen 1845–1851. D. in London 21st May, 1876.

8.Quitted the service in 1823. It appears from Plantagenet Harrison’s History of Yorkshire, that the family of “Sowerby” dates back to the reign of Henry I., when one “Sueni” was “Lord of Sowerby” in Cumberland. Some interesting particulars regarding the Sowerby family are to be found in Mr. Harrison’s book, but unfortunately they are particulars of the far-away Norman times.

9.Afterwards Gen. W.L. Walton, Col.-in-Chf. 5th Fusiliers. Son of the Dowager Lady Strachan. Served forty years in the Coldstream Guards, six of which were in command of the regt. Served at Copenhagen in 1807 and during the early part of the Par. War. Served also in Belgium, Holland, and France from Nov., 1813, to Nov., 1818. Was appointed Bde.-maj. to the 2nd Bde. of Guards (having been selected for that post by Sir John Byng) on the march from Waterloo to Paris, in place of Capt. Stothert, killed in action. M., 15th Aug., 1832, Harriet, dau. of P.H. Lovell, of Cole Park, Wilts. D., 11th Jan., 1865.

10.Has barely a title to appear in this list, as he was taken ill the evening of 17th of June, 1815, and sent to Brussels. But as the Coldstreams were under fire on 16th June, 1815, having arrived at Quatre Bras at 4 P.M. that day, after a march of twenty-five miles from Enghien, it would be scarcely fair to omit this officer, who appears to have received the Waterloo medal. Was son of Gen. Andrew Cowell, Lt.-col. Coldstream Guards, of Coleshill, Bucks, by Martha Justine, younger dau. of Sir T. Stepney, Bart., of Llanelly (widow of Sir F. Head, Bart.). Took the additional surname of Stepney by royal licence. Created a baronet in 1871. M., 1820, Lady Mary Annesley, who d. 1821. 2ndly, in 1823, Euphemia, dau. of Gen. John Murray, of Castle Murray, co. Donegal, and had issue. Lt.-col., ret., 1830. K.H. for his services in the Pa. D. 15th May, 1877.

11.Had previously served in the Rl. Fusiliers. D. at Brussels, 26th June, 1815, from his wounds.

12.Youngest son of Sir George Blackman, Bart., by Mary, eldest surviving dau. of Lt.-col. Henry Harnage, of Belleswardine, Salop. Buried in the orchard at Hougomont, in the defence of which place he lost his life.

13.The family of Hotham has furnished some distinguished officers to both our army and navy—especially to the latter service. But the most notable member of this ancient family was John de Hotham, Bishop of Ely, Lord Chancellor of England from 1316–1320. He was a great favourite with the young King Edward III., and had the choosing of a wife for that monarch. The story goes that he selected Philippa of Hainault “on account of the largeness of her hips,” which he prognosticated meant a large family, and the shrewd chancellor-bishop was not far wrong, as Queen Philippa had seven sons. Lord Hotham, who served in the Pa., and was wounded at Salamanca, was eldest son of Col. Beaumont Hotham, of the Coldstreams, by Philadelphia, dau. of Sir John Dyke, Bart. Bn. 9th Aug., 1794. Lt.-col. unattached, 24th Dec., 1825. Gen. on retired list 1865. D. unm., 12th Dec., 1870.

14.2nd son of Stephen, 2nd Earl of Mountcashel, by Margaret, eldest dau. of 2nd Earl of Kingston. Bn. 11th July, 1793. Promoted capt. and lt.-col. h. p. April, 1824. D. unm. 2nd Nov., 1856.

15.Eldest son of Gen. Lord Forbes (premier Baron of Scotland), by Eliz., eldest dau. of Walter Hunter, of Polmood, co. Peebles. D. as capt. and lt.-col. in this regt. 25th Feb., 1835.

16.Promoted lt. and capt. 28th Oct., 1819. Quitted the service as lt.-col. 11th June, 1841.

His death is thus recorded in the old ballad of Chevy Chase:

“He had a bow bent in his hand,
Made of a trusty tree;
An arrow of a cloth-yeard long
Unto the head drew he.
“Against Sir Hugh Montgomerie
So right his shaft he set,
The grey goose wing that was therein
In his heart-blood was set.”

18.This officer’s name is given as Crawford on the memorial tablet at Waterloo.

19.The following in memoriam verses were written soon after Waterloo.

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

F.The 3rd Batt. of the Royal Scots, which was reduced in 1817, distinguished itself in a particular manner at Quatre Bras. “Being removed from the centre of the 5th Division, it charged and routed a column of the enemy. It was then formed in a square to receive the cavalry, and though repeated attacks were made, not the slightest impression was produced. Wherever the lancers and cuirassiers presented themselves they found a stern and undismayed front which they vainly endeavoured to penetrate.” Mudford’s Historical Account of the Campaign in the Netherlands, in 1815.

1.Served throughout the Par. War and recd. the gold medal and one clasp for commanding his battalion at the battles of Vittoria and Salamanca. Severely wounded at Quatre Bras. Made C.B. for Waterloo.

Was severely wounded at the assault on the Convent of St. Sebastian, “and, although suffering from the effects of his wounds, was present, and engaged, at the assault on town of St. Sebastian, where he commanded two companies ordered to the breach in advance of the 1st Bde. of the 5th Division, and was at the surrender of the castle. Commanded the above regt. at Waterloo until disabled by wounds. C.B. and K.St.A. of Russia, Lt.-col. 44th Foot, 29th Aug., 1829. For many years was British Consul at Belize, Central America, where he was much esteemed. At his death, which occurred 14th Nov., 1860, a very eulogistic paragraph appeared in a Belize newspaper containing these words: “Col. Macdonald’s conversation was like reading a page of history.”

G.This regt. had just returned from active service in America and landed at Ostend a few days before Waterloo was fought. In fact, Gen. Lambert’s brigade only reached Waterloo by a forced march just as the battle was commencing. Several captains of the 1st Batt. 4th Foot had been killed in the attack on New Orleans—hence the small number of captains present at Waterloo. Siborne gives the names of six additional captains as present with this regt. at Waterloo, but as the official Army List for 1817 does not credit them with having the Waterloo medal, the Editor has been reluctantly compelled to omit their names.

1.Served throughout the Par. War and recd. the gold cross for the battles of Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, and siege of St. Sebastian. C.B. for Waterloo. 2nd son of Francis Brooke, of Colebrooke, by Hannah, dau. of Henry Prittie, of Dunally, co. Tipperary. M. Jane, dau. of George Burdett, M.P., and d. s. p.

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.”

1.Youngest son of the Rev. Thomas Holmes Tidy, chaplain to H.M. 26th Foot, and afterwards rector of Red Marshall, co. Durham, by Henrietta Augusta, dau. of the Rev. Wm. Skelly, by Lady Betty Gordon, dau. of Alexander, Duke of Gordon. If “fighting blood” is hereditary, then must “Frank Tidy,” as he was always called, have had a good share, for he was maternally descended from Charles Mordaunt, the “fighting” Earl of Peterborough, and had for his uncle the gallant Francis Skelly, maj. in the 71st Highlanders, who gained renown at the siege of Seringapatam. Joined the 43rd Regt. in Ireland as a volunteer at the age of 16, and was soon gazetted an ensign. When serving with his regt. in the West Indies “a mortality of from ten to thirteen men a day reduced the 43rd to 96 rank and file, and Guadaloupe being disputed inch by inch, the 43rd, at the time of its capture at Berville, did not contain more than two officers and twenty men fit for duty.” Tidy was confined for 15 months on board a hulk, subject to the tyranny and cruelty of Victor Hughes, thence sent to France, and eventually allowed to return to England on parole. Appointed adjt. of the 43rd. Promoted capt. 1st West India Regt. 1798; in 1799 exchanged to the Royal Scots. A.D.C. to Sir George Beckwith in the West Indies. Maj. 8th W.I.

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 Sir Coutts Trotter, Bart., and by her (who d. 3rd Aug., 1885) had issue. D. 21st Feb., 1891.

35.Paymaster 47th Foot 2nd May, 1816. Serving in 1824.

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

37.Commissioned ensign 14th Foot 27th June, 1815. Out of the regt. before 1st Jan., 1817.

38.Out of the regt. in 1816.

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.

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.

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.

2.C.B. for Waterloo. Aftds. lt.-col. of 64th Regt. Retd. before 1824. D. at Bath, 28th Nov., 1845.

4.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. M?Nabb, from Canada, nephew of the above. The antiquity of the M?Nabb is delightfully illustrated by the well-known remark of one of their clan that “at the flood they did not need to take refuge in Noah’s Ark, as the M?Nabbs had a boat of their own!”

At Waterloo, when only an ensign, commanded the light company towards the close of the battle. His private journal, in which he gives his experiences at Waterloo, is quoted from in Sir H. Havelock’s military work, entitled Three Main Questions of the Day (published in 1867) in order to show how the bravest cavalry failed again and again, at Waterloo, in breaking through the infantry squares when those squares were well provided with ammunition in addition to their bayonets. “Here come these fools again,” growled the 30th rank and file as they prepared to pour a destructive fire on the advancing French cuirassiers, which invariably emptied many saddles and sent the remainder from whence they came. Served at the siege of Asseerghur, and was aftds. milit. sec. to Sir John Wilson in Ceylon. Was promoted maj. h. p. unattached, 22nd Nov., 1839. Wrote the Life of Marshal Suvarow, which was published after his death. D. at Clevedon, 4th Nov., 1848.

34.H. p. 1831.

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.

36.Appointed assistant-surgeon 24th July, 1808. Taken prisoner at Talavera and sent to France. Exchanged. Rejoined in Portugal, after Busaco. Served at Fuentes d’Onor, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Salamanca, and capture of Madrid. Taken prisoner after siege of Burgos when in charge of the wounded. H. p. 1817. Surgeon 1st Batt. 1st Royals in July, 1821. Transferred to 17th Lancers in Sept., 1828. Surgeon R.H.M.S. Dublin, 1814. D. there in 1853. Interred at Arbour Hill, Dublin.

37.Out of the regt. in 1821.

K.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.”

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!”

2.Succeeded to the command after Macara’s death. C.B. for Waterloo. Had served in the Pa., and received the gold medal and one clasp for Fuentes d’Onor and Salamanca. A.D.C. to George IV., 1825. H. p. unattached list, 1825; maj.-gen., 1837. K.C.B. and K.C.H. Col.-in-Chf. 73rd Regt. 1845. Killed at the battle of Sobraon, 10th Feb., 1846, at the moment of victory. He had m., 11th April, 1818, Eliza., dau. of J. Macnabb, of Arthurstone, Perth.

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.

1.Afterwards Gen. John Millett Hamerton, C.B., Col.-in-Chf. 55th Regt. 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 his high and endearing qualities.” He m. Mrs. Hennessy (nÉe Sullivan), and had issue.

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

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.

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

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

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

He was in most of the Peninsular battles, and was desperately wounded at Waterloo at the close of the action, only two men of his company being then left, and was confined at Brussels until his recent return to England.” But John Garland did not die in 1816, and lived to become a bt. maj. on unattached list in 1825, and a bt. lt.-col. in 1838.

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

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.

1.The heroic Fassifern, great-grandson of John Cameron, 18th of Lochiel, and one of the six children of Ewen Cameron of Inverscadale, on Loch Linnhe, by his first wife, Lucy Campbell, of Balmadine. In early life was articled to a Writer to the Signet at Edinburgh; but when war broke out, in 1793, his military tastes inclined him to forsake the pen for a sword. Obtained a commission in the 26th Cameronians in 1793. His chief services were in the Pa. with above regt., and the honourable augmentation to his family arms, by the Prince Regent, 20th May, 1815, tells the true story of his exploits at “Almaraz” and the “Pass of Maya.” K.T.S. He met his death at Quatre Bras whilst leading the 92nd against a large body of French troops. Never was a commanding officer more universally lamented. He was buried on the 17th June during the height of the storm which raged that day. His grave was dug in a quiet lane by his devoted foster-brother, Ewen McMillan, a private in the 92nd, who had accompanied his master through all his campaigns. By desire of his family, Cameron’s body was aftds. disinterred and removed to Scotland, where it was re-interred in Kilmallie churchyard, where a tall obelisk, with an inscription by Sir Walter Scott, marks his grave. His aged father, Ewen Cameron, was created a bart. in consideration of his gallant son’s services. The title is now extinct.

3.At Waterloo the command of the battalion devolved upon Leach when his two senior officers were wounded. C.B. and bt. lt.-col. In 1831 published Rough Recollections of an Old Soldier. D. as lt.-col. 14th Jan., 1855, at Worthing, aged 70.

4.According to the Army List of 1st Jan., 1820, this officer was “superseded.” His name appears, however, in the h. p. list of this regt. in 1821 and for some years after.

5.Afterwards capt. retired f. p. 4th Rl. Vet. Batt. D. 1826.

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.

N.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.

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

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

1.Afterwards Gen. Sir E.C. Whinyates, K.C.B. and K.H. Col.-Comdt. R.H.A. This distinguished officer was 3rd son of Maj. Thomas Whinyates, of Abbotsleigh, co. Devon. His mother was Catherine, dau. of Adm. Sir Thomas Frankland, 5th Bart., representative of the historic family of “Frankland of Thirkleby,” co. York, which has a direct descent from Oliver Cromwell. Bn. 6th May, 1782. Joined the R.A. 1st March, 1798. Accompanied the expedition, under Abercromby, to the Helder in 1799. Aftds. joined the army under the Duke of York, and took part in the campaign in North Holland. Served at the capture of Madeira in 1801. In 1807 was appointed adj. to the artillery of the army which, under Lord Cathcart, was employed in the attack on Copenhagen, and where he commanded, throughout the siege, one of the principal batteries, which went by the expressive name of the “Churchyard” battery. On his return home was appointed 2nd capt. of Capt. Lefebure’s troop of horse artillery (D troop), and in Feb., 1810, embarked for the Pa. The Camilla, of 200 tons, having on board Capt. Whinyates, two officers, and 36 horses, nearly foundered in the Bay of Biscay, and was at last driven back to Cork, almost a wreck. This troop, arriving in the Pa. by detachments, was prevented from taking the field for some time. During the interval Whinyates served on the artillery staff, and was present at the battle of Busaco. His troop took the field before the battle of Albuera, where Whinyates commanded the half-troop which was attached to the cavalry on the right. It was here that some of the severest fighting took place. He was mentioned in public despatches for his conduct in the brilliant attack and defeat of Lallemand’s cavalry at Ribera, 24th July, 1812. Promoted 1st capt. in Jan., 1813, which occasioned his return to England. At Waterloo he had three horses shot under him, was struck by a round shot on the leg, and sev. wnded. in the left arm towards the close of the day. Bt. maj., and a permanent pens. for wounds.

An interesting memoir of Gen. Whinyates’s military life was published by the R.A. Institution in 1867, from which the above notice is extracted. The Editor is indebted to Maj.-Gen. Whinyates, nephew of Sir Edward, for the loan of the said memoir.

1.Came of a military race. 2nd son of Gen. Mercer, R.E. Bn. 1783. Served in South America in 1807–1808. His troop came in for the hottest part of the battle on Waterloo Day, and suffered considerably in loss of men and horses. Sir George Wood, R.A., paid the battery a visit on that memorable afternoon, and was surprised to find so many cannon balls whizzing round his ears. “D——n it, Mercer,” he exclaimed, “you seem to be having a hot time of it here.” Hot it was for all parties concerned, but the gallant way in which the gunners worked their guns kept the French cavalry from reaching the infantry squares behind Mercer’s battery. In after years Gen. Mercer published his Journal of the Waterloo Campaign, which is a delightful book in every respect. Attained the rank of gen. and col.-comdt., and d. at Cowley Cottage, Exeter, 9th Nov., 1868.

5.The following anecdote is taken from Gen. Mercer’s Waterloo Journal: “Lt. Breton, who had already lost two horses and had mounted a troop horse, was conversing with me during a leisure moment. As his horse stood at right angles to mine, the poor jaded animal dozingly rested his muzzle on my thigh; whilst I, the better to hear amidst the infernal din, leant forward, resting my arm between his ears. In this attitude a cannon ball smashed the horse’s head to atoms, and the headless trunk sank to the ground!” Retd. on h. p. 1st Oct., 1820, and d. at Lyndhurst, 17th March, 1852.

5 Wm. L. Robe, K. 28 June, 1808

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

2.Brother to Gen. Sir John Macdonald, Adjt.-Gen., and to Col. Robert Macdonald, 1st Foot. Aftds. Lt.-Gen., C.B., and K.St.A. Served at the capture of the in 1806, and was taken prisoner at Buenos Ayres in 1807. Served in the Pa. and distinguished himself at Busaco and San Sebastian. Was sev. wnded. at Waterloo. Bt. Maj.

4.Retired on f. p. 23rd June, 1846. D. as lt.-gen. at Hythe, Oct., 1869.

5.Son of Col. Sir Wm. Robe, R.A., a distinguished officer. He obtained his first commission 3rd Oct., 1807, and in the same year accompanied the expedition to Gothenburg. Served throughout the Par. War with much distinction. “He had the singular honour, as a subaltern, to be mentioned for his distinguished conduct by Wellington, and in consequence the gold medal and clasp for the battles of Nivelle and Nive were forwarded to his family after his death.” An account of his death at Waterloo is given in a letter from Capt. Alex. Macdonald, of Ramsay’s battery, to Sir Wm. Robe. (See Appendix.)

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

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

FIELD TRAIN DEPARTMENT OF THE ORDNANCE.[T]

T.The Editor has no means of tracing the war services of the officers of this department, and can only give two Waterloo representatives of the above.

ASSISTANT-COMMISSARIES.
Date of Commission.
1 Samuel J. Tibbs 1 June, 1814
2 Richard Bant 1 June, 1815

1.Served through the whole of the Par. war, and in 1848 recd. the medal with fourteen clasps. He also recd. the Waterloo medal. H. p. 6th Aug., 1816. An interesting memoir of this veteran, with his portrait, appeared in The Regiment, 29th Aug., 1896.

2.H. p. 27th March, 1816. D. in 1818. His Waterloo medal was for long in the Seaforth collection.

COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.[U]

U.The Commissariat officers who served at Waterloo were not granted the Waterloo medal, and none of them ever appeared in any Army List with the glorious “W” before their names, although, in after years, those who had served in the Pa. had the “P” before their names in the Army Lists, and they recd. the Par. medal in 1848. It is, therefore, impossible, to give any correct list of officers belonging to the above department, but the Editor gives the names of six officers who were undoubtedly at Waterloo.

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.
