Wellington to Waterloo - Start at Horseguards Parade
Beyond the Beaten Path
As a young boy, Richard Yim dreamed of inventing technology that would put an end to landmine casualties — like the tragedy that claimed the life of a loved aunt. Yim immigrated to Canada and was accepted to the University of Waterloo, where he learned to build robots and was encouraged to follow his dream. At Waterloo, he co-founded Landmine Boys and invented a robot that slices open landmines and melts the TNT inside.
A Damned Serious Business. Mapping Waterloo
Anne Taylor, Head of the Library’s Map Department, explains how maps were produced using engraved copper plates, with special reference to items on show in the exhibition ‘A damned serious business: Waterloo 1815, the battle and its books’.
It has been a damned serious business. Blücher and I have lost 30,000 men. It has been a damned nice thing—the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life. - The Duke of Wellington, 19 June 1815, quoted by Thomas Creevey.
The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday 18 June 1815, ten miles south of Brussels in what was then the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It was the climactic engagement of a campaign that pitted an invading French army under Napoleon Bonaparte against a combined force of Allied troops—chiefly British, Netherlandish and Hanoverian—commanded by the Duke of Wellington and a Prussian army led by Gebhard von Blücher. The French were routed, and the warfare that had plagued Europe for more than two decades was definitively ended: there were to be no hostilities on such a scale on the continent until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Through its impact on the politics and power-relationships of a Europe approaching the height of its worldwide influence, the outcome of Waterloo remains significant to this day.
Although Cambridge University Library has never set out to assemble a specific, single collection relating to Waterloo, the strength and breadth of our accessioning activity mean that over the course of two hundred years we have amassed a rich and fascinating variety of written records, maps and book arts relating to the battle and the era in which it played so significant a part. To mark the bicentenary of Waterloo, this Digital Library collection presents a sample of such material, encompassing military drill-books, manuscript letters, hand-coloured engravings, battlefield plans, printed mementos and tourist reminiscences.

Battle of Waterloo: Napoleon commits the Guard
With Wellington's centre exposed by the fall of La Haye Sainte, and the Plancenoit front temporarily stabilised, Napoleon committed his last reserve, the hitherto-undefeated Imperial Guard. This attack, mounted at around 19:30, was intended to break through Wellington's centre and roll up his line away from the Prussians. Although it is one of the most celebrated passages of arms in military history, it is unclear which units actually participated. It appears that it was mounted by five battalions of the Middle Guard, and not by the Grenadiers or Chasseurs of the Old Guard.
Three Old Guard battalions did move forward and formed the attack's second line, though they remained in reserve and did not directly assault the Anglo-allied line. Marching through a hail of canister and skirmisher fire, the 3,000 or so Middle Guardsmen advanced to the west of La Haye Sainte, and in so doing, separated into three distinct attack forces. One, consisting of two battalions of Grenadiers, defeated Wellington's first line of British, Brunswick and Nassau troops and marched on. Chassé's relatively fresh Netherlands division was sent against them and its artillery fired into the victorious Grenadiers' flank. This still could not stop the Guard's advance, so Chassé ordered his first brigade to charge the outnumbered French, who faltered and broke.
Further to the west, 1,500 British Foot Guards under Maitland were lying down to protect themselves from the French artillery. As two battalions of Chasseurs approached, the second prong of the Imperial Guard's attack, Maitland's guardsmen rose and devastated them with point-blank volleys. The Chasseurs deployed to answer the fire, but began to waver. A bayonet charge by the Foot Guards then broke them. The third prong, a fresh Chasseur battalion, now came up in support. The British guardsmen retired with these Chasseurs in pursuit, but the latter were halted as the 52nd Light Infantry wheeled in line onto their flank and poured a devastating fire into them. Under this onslaught they too broke.
The last of the Guard retreated headlong. A ripple of panic passed through the French lines as the astounding news spread La Garde recule. Sauve qui peut! (The Guard retreats. Save yourself if you can!). Wellington now stood up in Copenhagen's stirrups, and waved his hat in the air to signal a general advance. His army rushed forward from the lines and threw themselves upon the retreating French.

Waterloo Na Laochra Gael | Déardaoin 18/06 8pm
Clár faisnéise ar arm na 'Breataine' a fuair an ceann is fearr ar Napoleon i gCath Waterloo. Bhí scata saighdiúirí as Éirinn agus as Albain páirteach ann agus ba as Éirinn an ceannaire, an Diúc Wellington, a rugadh i mBaile Átha Cliath i 1769. Beidh an clár faisnéise-dráma seo á chraoladh ar chomóradh 200 bliain an chatha agus inseoidh an scéal mar a bhí sé ag na saighdiúirí agus ag a gcuid ban. I measc na n-aisteoirí tá an tráchtaire clúiteach CLG Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh chomh maith le Steve Wall agus Olwen Fouréré.
The so-called 'British' army that defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo included many Irish and Scottish soldiers. Even its commander, the Duke of Wellington, was Irish, born in Dublin in 1769. Due for broadcast on the 200th anniversary of the battle, this feature-length docudrama tells the story from the perspective of these soldiers and their wives. Starring legendary GAA commentator Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, Steve Wall and Olwen Fouéré, 'Waterloo: Na Laochra Gael' reveals the incredible human stories of these men and women.
Scottish Regiments Of The British Army At Waterloo. 1815
Although this little film portrays one action, that of the Royal Scot’s Greys at Waterloo There were scores of English, Irish and Welsh regiments also bravely giving their all that day. The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday, 18 June 1815, near Waterloo in present-day Belgium, then part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. A French army under the command of Napoleon was defeated by the armies of the Seventh Coalition, comprising an Anglo-allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington combined with a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard von Blücher. Casualties and losses, from the following numbers. The French 51,000. From a estimated total of 71,000. The Anglo-Allied Armies 24,000. From an estimated total of 118,000. I have to say as someone who likes a wee gamble the odds were not good
Scots Greys charge.
The Grey’s charge was in reality not a fast gallop due to the ground conditions but a steady walk. Retreating infantry’s moral was boosted by their presence and was reported due to the slow deliberate advance at this stage they the infantry held onto the stirrups of the cavalry and back into battle.
This little film is made up of old paintings and old postcards that passed through my hands over the years that were scanned into my pc. The battle sounds, music and special effects help to bring them alive to some extent.

Lot 1088 - Holts Auction 21st June 2018
It looked like an old wooden chest but painted on the side was LT. COL HONble A, GORDON. A private vendor had brought the chest to Holts and it turned out to be none other than a campaign chest belonging to Sir Alexander Gordon (1786-1815) who was killed at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
Alexander Gordon, the 3rd son of Lord Haddo joined the army in 1805 and fought in the Peninsular War in Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. In 1809 he became aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington and on the 18th June 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo died after his leg was blown off. Such was the respect that Wellington had for him, he offered Gordon his bed where he subsequently died.
In a letter written the next day to his brother Lord Aberdeen, Wellington wrote “He had never rendered himself more useful and had never distinguished himself more than in our last action” (The Battle of Waterloo).

The Duke of Wellington – Goya
In 1961, Charles Wrightsman, the oil-rich American collector, bought Goya’s “Portrait of the Duke of Wellington” for $392,000 and planned to take it to the United States. There was such a public outrage that the British government raised the necessary matching sum. Less than three weeks after its triumphal hanging in the National Gallery, it was stolen. The thief demanded a ransom of the same amount and said he was going to devote it to charity.In 1965, the thief sent a claim ticket to London’s Daily Mirror and the painting was picked up by police in a railway baggage office. The thief, an unemployed bus driver named Kempton Bunton, gave himself up six weeks later. He had planned to use the money to buy TV licenses for the poor, serving three months in jail for his offense.

At dawn on June 18th, the torrential rain which had soaked the Belgium countryside the previous day began tapering off. Seventy thousand French troops, constituting the bulk of Napoleon’s Armee du Nord, which two days earlier had vanquished the Prussian Army of the Rhine at Ligney, now expected to exploit their initial victory by destroying the unsupported and inexperienced Anglo-Dutch forces which the Duke of Wellington had deployed across the Brussels-Charleroi highway a few miles south of the inconsequential hamlet called Waterloo.
