6 Division – Lieutenant General Sir Lowry Cole. 10 Brigade – Major General Sir John Lambert KCB. 1 Battalion 4 King’s Own Regiment of Foot
The depleted battalion was reinforced from the second battalion and sent straight out to Flanders for the final battle against Napoleon. Lt-Col Francis Brooke commanded the 4th, the regiment being brigaded with the 27th and 40th under Maj-General Sir John Lambert. They did not see action at Quatre Bras and began the battle of Waterloo, on 18th June, as a reserve brigade. But by 6pm they were brought up to the front line, just to the north-east of La Haie Sainte. This farm had finally fallen to Marshal Ney and he placed artillery to cause havoc in Wellington's thin red line. Lambert's 10th Brigade took heavy casualties from the salvos of French artillery. Worst hit were the 27th Inniskillings with 105 killed, 373 wounded, then the 40th Somersets with 52 killed, 169 wounded. The 4th suffered 12 killed and 122 wounded. The regiment stayed in France until 1818 as part of the army of occupation.

Outstanding Ratch. I used to live quite near Waterloo and visited several times so even more impressed with the research and accuracy.

Thanks very much Neale, I would have liked to have seen the place but it won't happen now

This is very much an on-going project. Stay tuned for more additions.
