Footnote D:

Raised in 1794 as the 26th Lt. Dragoons. Re-numbered “23rd” in 1802.
Made Lancers in 1816. Disbanded in Jan. 1818.

Footnote 1:

The star of the Dawsons was not propitious on the morning of the 18th
June, 1815. Whilst one brother had been sent to the rear on the
evening of 17th June as officer in charge of the baggage guard of 18th
Hussars, the eldest brother, John Dawson, 2nd Earl of Portarlington,
had betaken himself that same evening to Brussels or elsewhere. The
consequence of this step was that “on the morning of Waterloo, by an
unfortunate mistake, he was prevented from joining his regiment in
time to command it in the brilliant exploits it performed on that
memorable day.” His anguish was extreme. He joined the 18th Hussars,
and served with Sir H. Vivian’s brigade in the destructive and
successful charge made by that corps towards the close of the battle.
In this charge Lord Portarlington had a horse shot under him. No one
who knew this nobleman doubted his courage for a moment, but his
absence from duty on such an occasion necessitated his retirement from
the 23rd Dgns. in Sept., 1815. The Prince Regent showed much kind
feeling for Portarlington, and did his best to uphold the unfortunate
officer in the eyes of the world. Lord Portarlington purchased a
half-pay ensigncy in 86th Foot 21st Oct., 1821. Became lieut. on h. p.
10th Sept., 1825. Capt. h. p. 9th Aug., 1831. This rank was a curious
anomaly, as his lordship’s name had been retained in the _Army List_
as a “colonel” ever since Waterloo, and he was also awarded the
Waterloo medal. But the one misfortune of his life was ever before
him, and the remorse from knowing that he alone was the author of it
weighed upon him to such an extent that he took to dissipation, lost a
large fortune, and d. at a humble lodging in an obscure London slum,
28th Dec., 1845. In early life he had served in the Pa., and was
present at the battle of Talavera. He d. unm.

Footnote 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

near Valladolid. At Waterloo he succeeded to the command of the above

Footnote 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.

Footnote 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.

Footnote 3:

The historian of the Coldstream Guards, 2nd son of Wm. M’Kinnon, who

John Dent, and d. s. p. 22nd June, 1836.

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.

Footnote 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.

Footnote 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.

Footnote 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.

Footnote 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.

Footnote 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

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.

Footnote 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

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.

Footnote 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.
