_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.‘”

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.

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.

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

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.

Footnote 9:

Afterwards Maj.-Gen. John Cox, K.H. Was present at eleven general
actions in the Pa. Had a compound fracture of his left arm at the
storming of Ciudad Rodrigo. Defended a battery with his company at
Waterloo. D. at Cheltenham, 7th Feb., 1863. There were two officers of
this name in the Rifles in 1815, who appear to have been brothers, and
of the same family as Sir Richard Cox, Bart., Lord Chancellor of
Ireland.

Footnote 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.

Footnote 1:

Son of Adam Wood, Lt. of Capt. Coote’s Independent Company of Foot at

K.W. for Waterloo. A.D.C. to George IV., and K.C.H. D. a maj.-gen.,

Footnote 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. He d. as col., 11th June, 1835, at

Footnote 9:

Afterwards Gen. Sir Wm. Bell, K.C.B. Col.-comdt. R.H.A. His father was
Wm. 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.)

Collingwood, of Unthank, in Northumberland. The eminent war services
of this distinguished soldier are too well known to need
recapitulation. From 1798 to 1815 Sir A. Dickson was “on the
war-path,” in Europe, North and South America. He commanded the allied
artillery at Vittoria, San Sebastian, the passage of Bidassoa,
Nivelle, Nive, and Toulouse. Recd. the gold cross and six clasps.
