Chapter VI: After the Fight (1)

Mercer could hardly tell when and how Waterloo began, and he can almost as little tell when and how it ended! So wild is the confusion, so overwhelming the excitement of a great battle for the actors in it:--

"My recollections of the later part of this day are rather confused;
I was fatigued and almost deaf. I recollect clearly, however,
that we had ceased firing, the plain below being covered with
masses of troops, which we could not distinguish from each other.
Captain Walcot of the Horse Artillery, had come to us, and we
were all looking out anxiously at the movements below and on the
opposite ridge, when he suddenly shouted out, 'Victory!--victory!
they fly!--they fly!' and sure enough we saw some of the masses
dissolving, as it were, and those composing them streaming away in
confused crowds over the field, whilst the already desultory fire of
their artillery ceased altogether.

"I shall never forget this joyful moment!--this moment of exultation!
On looking round, I found we were left almost alone. Cavalry and
infantry had all moved forward, and only a few guns here and there
were to be seen on the position. A little to our right were the
remains of Major M'Donald's troop under Lieutenant Sandilands, which
had suffered much, but nothing like us. We were congratulating
ourselves on the happy results of the day when an aide-de-camp rode
up, crying, 'Forward, sir! forward! It is of the utmost importance
that this movement should be supported by artillery!' at the same
time waving his hat much in the manner of a huntsman laying on his
dogs. I smiled at his energy, and, pointing to the remains of my poor
troop, quietly asked, 'How, sir?' A glance was sufficient to show him
the impossibility, and away he went.

"Our situation was indeed terrible. Of 200 fine horses with which we
had entered the battle, upwards of 140 lay dead, dying, or severely
wounded. Of the men, scarcely two-thirds of those necessary for four
guns remained, and these so completely exhausted as to be totally
incapable of further exertion. Lieutenant Breton had three horses
killed under him; Lieutenant Hincks was wounded in the breast by a
spent ball; Lieutenant Leathes on the hip by a splinter; and although
untouched myself, my horse had no less than eight wounds, one of
which, a graze on the fetlock joint, lamed him for ever. Our guns and
carriages were, as before mentioned, altogether in a confused heap,
intermingled with dead and wounded horses, which it had not been
possible to disengage from them.

"My poor men, such at least as were untouched, fairly worn out,
their clothes, faces, &c., blackened by the smoke and spattered
over with mud and blood, had seated themselves on the trails of the
carriages, or had thrown themselves on the wet and polluted soil, too
fatigued to think of anything but gaining a little rest. Such was
our situation when called upon to advance. It was impossible, and we
remained where we were. For myself, I was also excessively tired,
hoarse to making speech painful, and deaf from the infernal uproar of
the last eleven hours. Moreover, I was devoured by a burning thirst,
not a drop of liquid having passed my lips since the evening of the
16th; but although, with the exception of the chicken's leg last
night, I may be said to have eaten nothing for two whole days, yet
did I not feel the least desire for food."

When the battle was over, Mercer's artistic sensibilities--his eye for landscape, his sense of sky-effects and of natural beauty--awoke. He was perhaps the only man in Wellington's army who could study cloud-effects in the night-sky, which looked down on the slain of Waterloo, or contemplate, with botanical discrimination and approval, the plants in the garden at Hougoumont the next morning:--

"The evening had become fine, and but for an occasional groan or
lament from some poor sufferer, and the repeated piteous neighing of
wounded horses, tranquility might be said to reign over the field. As
it got dusk, a large body of Prussian artillery arrived, and formed
their bivouac near us. There was not light to see more of them than
that their brass guns were kept bright, and that their carriages were
encumbered with baggage, and, besides, appeared but clumsy machines
when compared with ours. All wore their greatcoats, which apparently
they had marched in. As they looked at us rather scowlingly, and did
not seem inclined to hold any communication with us, I soon returned
to my own people, whom I found preparing to go supperless to bed--the
two remaining officers, the non-commissioned officers, and men
having all got together in a heap, with some painted covers spread
under, and others drawn over them--at a distance from our guns, &c.,
the neighbourhood of which they said, was too horrible to think of
sleeping there.

"For my part, after standing all day amongst all these horrors, I
felt no squeamishness about sleeping amongst them; so pulling down
the painted cover of a limber over the footboard in the manner of a
tent roof, I crept under it and endeavoured to sleep. The cramped
situation in which I lay, and the feverish excitement of my mind,
forbade, however, my obtaining that sound and refreshing sleep so
much needed; I only dozed. From one of these dozes I awoke about
midnight, chilled and cramped to death from the awkward doubled-up
position imposed upon me by my short and narrow bed. So up I got to
look around and contemplate a battle-field by the pale moonlight.

"The night was serene and pretty clear; a few light clouds
occasionally passing across the moon's disc, and throwing objects
into transient obscurity, added considerably to the solemnity of
the scene. Oh, it was a thrilling sensation thus to stand in the
silent hour of the night and contemplate that field--all day long
the theatre of noise and strife, now so calm and still--the actors
prostrate on the bloody soil, their pale wan faces upturned to the
moon's cold beams, which caps and breastplates, and a thousand
other things, reflected back in brilliant pencils of light from as
many different points! Here and there some poor wretch, sitting up
amidst the countless dead, busied himself in endeavours to stanch
the flowing stream with which his life was fast ebbing away. Many
whom I saw so employed that night were, when morning dawned, lying
stiff and tranquil as those who had departed earlier. From time to
time a figure would half raise itself from the ground, and then, with
a despairing groan, fall back again. Others, slowly and painfully
rising, stronger, or having less deadly hurt, would stagger away with
uncertain steps across the field in search of succour.

"Many of these I followed with my gaze until lost in the obscurity of
distance; but many, alas! after staggering a few paces, would sink
again on the ground with their entrails hanging out--and yet I gazed!
Horses, too, there were to claim our pity--mild, patient, enduring.
Some lay on the ground with their entrails hanging out, and yet they
lived. These would occasionally attempt to rise, but like their
human bedfellows, quickly falling back again, would lift their poor
heads, and, turning a wistful gaze at their side, lie quietly down
again, to repeat the same until strength no longer remained, and
then, their eyes gently closing, one short convulsive struggle closed
their sufferings. One poor animal excited painful interest--he had
lost, I believe, both his hind-legs; and there he sat the long night
through on his tail, looking about, as if in expectation of coming
aid, sending forth, from time to time, long and protracted melancholy
neighing. Although I knew that killing him at once would be mercy, I
could not muster courage even to give the order. Blood enough I had
seen shed during the last six-and-thirty hours, and sickened at the
thought of shedding more. There, then, he still sat when we left the
ground, neighing after us, as if reproaching our desertion of him in
the hour of need."

After the storm of a great battle has rolled away it leaves behind a wreckage--human and animal--of a very amazing sort; and of the wreckage of Waterloo Mercer gives a grimly vivid description. The effect is that of one of Vereschagin's pictures translated into literary terms:--

"_June 19._--The cool air of the morning lasted not long; the rising
sun soon burst in all his glory over our bloody bivouac, and all
nature arose into renewed life, except the victims of ambition which
lay unconscious of his presence. I had not been up many minutes when
one of my sergeants came to ask if they might bury Driver Crammond.
'And why particularly Driver Crammond?' 'Because he looks frightful,
sir; many of us have not had a wink of sleep for him.' Curious! I
walked to the spot where he lay, and certainly a more hideous sight
cannot be imagined. A cannon-shot had carried away the whole head
except barely the visage, which still remained attached to the torn
and bloody neck. The men said they had been prevented sleeping by
seeing his eyes fixed on them all night; and thus this one dreadful
object had superseded all the other horrors by which they were
surrounded. He was of course immediately buried, and as immediately
forgotten.

"Our first care after this was to muster the remaining force, to
disentangle our carriages from each other, and from the dead and
dying animals with which they were encumbered. Many sound or only
slightly wounded horses, belonging to different corps of both armies,
were wandering about the field. Of these we caught several in the
course of the morning, and thus collected, with what remained of our
own fit for work, sufficient to horse four guns, three ammunition
waggons, and the forge. Of men we had nearly enough for these at
reduced numbers, so we set to work equipping ourselves without
delay. Although supplies of ammunition had been sent to us during
the action, yet little remained. The expenditure had been enormous.
A return had been called for yesterday evening just as we were lying
down to rest, but, fatigued as we all were it was impossible to give
this correctly. As near as I could ascertain, we must have fired
nearly 700 rounds per gun. Our harness, &c., was so cut to pieces,
that but for the vast magazines around us from which we could pick
and choose we should never have got off the field.

"Soon after daybreak an officer came from headquarters to desire
me to send all my superfluous carriages to Lillois, where a park
was forming, and to inform me that a supply of ammunition would be
found in the village of Waterloo. Accordingly the carriages were
sent without delay; but this requiring all the horses, they were
obliged to make a second trip for the ammunition. Whilst this was
doing I had leisure to examine the ground in our immediate vicinity.
Books and papers, &c., covered it in all directions. The books at
first surprised me, but upon examination the thing was explained.
Each French soldier, it appeared, carried a little accompt-book of
his pay, clothing, &c., &c. The scene was now far from solitary;
for numerous groups of peasants were moving about busily employed
stripping the dead, and perhaps finishing those not quite so. Some of
these men I met fairly staggered under the enormous load of clothes,
&c., they had collected. Some had firearms, swords, &c., and many had
large bunches of crosses and decorations; all seemed in high glee,
and professed unbounded hatred of the French.

"I had fancied we were almost alone on the field, seeing only the
remains of Major Bull's troop of horse artillery not far from us
(the Prussians had gone forward about or a little before daybreak);
but in wandering towards the Charleroi road I stumbled on a whole
regiment of British infantry fast asleep, in columns of divisions,
wrapped in their blankets, with their knapsacks for pillows. Not a
man was awake. There they lay in regular ranks, with the officers and
sergeants in their places, just as they would stand when awake. Not
far from these, in a little hollow beneath a white thorn, lay two
Irish light-infantry men sending forth such howlings and wailings
and oaths and execrations as were shocking to hear. One of them had
his leg shot off, the other a thigh smashed by a cannon-shot. They
were certainly pitiable objects, but their vehement exclamations,
&c., were so strongly contrasted with the quiet, resolute bearing of
hundreds both French and English around them, that it blunted one's
feelings considerably.

"I tried in vain to pacify them; so walked away amidst a volley of
abuse as a hard-hearted wretch who could thus leave two poor fellows
to die like dogs. What could I do? All, however, though in more
modest terms, craved assistance; and every poor wretch begged most
earnestly for water. Some of my men had discovered a good well of
uncontaminated water at Hougoumont and filled their canteens, so I
made several of them accompany me and administer to the most craving
in our immediate vicinity. Nothing could exceed their gratitude,
or the fervent blessings they implored on us for this momentary
relief. The French were in general particularly grateful; and those
who were strong enough entered into conversation with us on the
events of yesterday, and the probable fate awaiting themselves. All
the non-commissioned officers and privates agreed in asserting that
they had been deceived by their officers and betrayed; and, to my
surprise, almost all of them reviled Bonaparte as the cause of their
misery.

"Many begged me to kill them at once, since they would a thousand
times rather die by the hand of a soldier than be left at the
mercy of those villainous Belgic peasants. Whilst we stood by them
several would appear consoled and become tranquil; but the moment we
attempted to leave, they invariably renewed the cry, 'Ah, Monsieur,
tuez moi donc! Tuez moi, pour l'amour de Dieu!' &c., &c. It was in
vain I assured them carts would be sent to pick them all up. Nothing
could reconcile them to the idea of being left. They looked on us as
brother soldiers, and knew we were too honourable to harm them: 'But
the moment you go, those vile peasants will first insult and then
cruelly murder us.' This, alas! I knew, was but too true.

"One Frenchman I found in a far different humour--an officer of
lancers, and desperately wounded; a strong, square-built man, with
reddish hair and speckled complexion. When I approached him he
appeared suffering horribly--rolling on his back, uttering loud
groans. My first impulse was to raise and place him in a sitting
posture; but, the moment he was touched, opening his eyes and seeing
me, he became perfectly furious. Supposing he mistook my intention,
I addressed him in a soothing tone, begging he would allow me to
render him what little assistance was in my power. This only seemed
to irritate him the more; and on my presenting him the canteen with
water, he dashed it from him with such a passionate gesture and
emphatic 'Non!' that I saw there was no use in teasing, and therefore
reluctantly left him.

"Returning towards our position, I was forcibly struck by the
immense heap of bodies of men and horses which distinguished it
even at a distance; indeed, Sir Augustus Frazer told me the other
day, at Nivelles, that in riding over the field, 'he could plainly
distinguish the position of G troop from the opposite height by the
dark mass which, even from that distance, formed a remarkable feature
in the field.' These were his very words. One interesting sufferer I
had nearly forgotten. He was a fine young man of the grenadiers _à
cheval_, who had lain groaning near us all night--indeed, scarcely
five paces from my bed; therefore was the first person I visited
as soon as daylight came. He was a most interesting person--tall,
handsome, and a perfect gentleman in manners and speech; yet his
costume was that of a private soldier. We conversed with him some
time, and were exceedingly pleased with his mild and amiable address.
Amongst other things he told us that Marshal Ney had led the charges
against us.

"I now began to feel somewhat the effects of my long fast in a
most unpleasant sense of weakness and an inordinate craving for
food, which there was no means of satisfying. My joy, then, may be
imagined when, returning to our bivouac, I found our people returned
from Lillois, and, better still, that they had brought with them a
quarter of veal, which they had found in a muddy ditch, of course in
appearance then filthy enough. What was this to a parcel of men who
had scarcely eaten a morsel for three days? In a trice it was cut up,
the mud having been scraped off with a sabre, a fire kindled and fed
with lance-shafts and musket-stocks; and old Quarter-master Hall,
undertaking the cooking, proceeded to fry the dirty lumps in the
lid of a camp-kettle. How we enjoyed the savoury smell! and, having
made ourselves seats of cuirasses[9] piled upon each other, we soon
had that most agreeable of animal gratifications--the filling our
empty stomachs. Never was a meal more perfectly military, nor more
perfectly enjoyed."

By this time the artillery officer in Mercer was exhausted, the botanist and artist began to emerge, and he strolls off to visit, as a sort of country gentleman at leisure, the garden at Hougoumont! He says:--

"Having despatched our meal and then the ammunition waggons to
Waterloo, and leaving the people employed equipping as best they
could, I set off to visit the château likewise; for the struggle that
had taken place there yesterday rendered it an object of interest.
The same scene of carnage as elsewhere characterised that part of the
field over which I now bent my steps. The immediate neighbourhood
of Hougoumont was more thickly strewn with corpses than most other
parts of the field--the very ditches were full of them. The trees
all about were most woefully cut and splintered both by cannon shot
and musketry. The courts of the château presented a spectacle more
terrible even than any I had yet seen. A large barn had been set on
fire, and the conflagration had spread to the offices and even to the
main building. Here numbers, both of French and English, had perished
in the flames, and their blackened swollen remains lay scattered
about in all directions. Amongst this heap of ruins and misery many
poor devils yet remained alive, and were sitting up endeavouring to
bandage their wounds. Such a scene of horror, and one so sickening,
was surely never witnessed.

"Two or three German dragoons were wandering among the ruins, and
many peasants. One of the former was speaking to me when two of the
latter, after rifling the pockets, &c., of a dead Frenchman, seized
the body by the shoulders, and raising it from the ground, dashed it
down again with all their force, uttering the grossest abuse, and
kicking it about the head and face--revolting spectacle!--doing this,
no doubt, to court favour with us. It had a contrary effect, which
they soon learned. I had scarcely uttered an exclamation of disgust,
when the dragoon's sabre was flashing over the miscreants' heads,
and in a moment descended on their backs and shoulders with such
vigour that they roared again, and were but too happy to make their
escape. I turned from such scenes and entered the garden. How shall I
describe the delicious sensation I experienced!

"The garden was an ordinary one, but pretty--long straight walks
of turf overshadowed by fruit-trees, and between these beds of
vegetables, the whole enclosed by a tolerably high brick wall. Is
it necessary to define my sensations? Is it possible that I am not
understood at once? Listen, then. For the last three days I have
been in a constant state of excitement--in a perfect fever. My eyes
have beheld nought but war in all its horrors--my ears have been
assailed by a continued roar of cannon and cracking of musketry, the
shouts of multitudes and the lamentations of war's victims. Suddenly
and unexpectedly I find myself in solitude, pacing a green avenue,
my eyes refreshed by the cool verdure of trees and shrubs; my ears
soothed by the melody of feathered songsters--yea, of sweet Philomel
herself--and the pleasing hum of insects sporting in the genial
sunshine. Is there nothing in this to excite emotion? Nature in
repose is always lovely: here, and under such circumstances, she was
delicious. Long I rambled in this garden, up one walk, down another,
and thought I could dwell here contented for ever.

"Nothing recalled the presence of war except the loop-holed wall
and two or three dead Guardsmen[10]; but the first caused no
interruption, and these last lay so concealed amongst the exuberant
vegetation of turnips and cabbages, &c., that, after coming from
the field of death without, their pale and silent forms but little
deteriorated my enjoyment. The leaves were green, roses and other
flowers bloomed forth in all their sweetness, and the very turf when
crushed by my feet smelt fresh and pleasant. There was but little of
disorder visible to tell of what had been enacted here. I imagine it
must have been assailed by infantry alone; and the havoc amongst the
trees without made by our artillery posted on the hill above to cover
the approach to it--principally, perhaps, by Bull's howitzer battery.

"I had satisfied my curiosity at Hougoumont, and was retracing my
steps up the hill when my attention was called to a group of wounded
Frenchmen by the calm, dignified, and soldier-like oration addressed
by one of them to the rest. I cannot, like Livy, compose a fine
harangue for my hero, and, of course, I could not retain the precise
words, but the import of them was to exhort them to bear their
sufferings with fortitude; not to repine, like women or children,
at what every soldier should have made up his mind to suffer as the
fortune of war, but above all, to remember that they were surrounded
by Englishmen, before whom they ought to be doubly careful not to
disgrace themselves by displaying such an unsoldier-like want of
fortitude.

"The speaker was sitting on the ground, with his lance stuck upright
beside him--an old veteran, with a thick, bushy, grizzly beard,
countenance like a lion--a lancer of the Old Guard, and no doubt had
fought in many a field. One hand was flourished in the air as he
spoke, the other, severed at the wrist, lay on the earth beside him;
one ball (case-shot, probably) had entered his body, another had
broken his leg. His suffering, after a night of exposure so mangled,
must have been great; yet he betrayed it not. His bearing was that
of a Roman, or perhaps of an Indian warrior, and I could fancy him
concluding appropriately his speech in the words of the Mexican king,
'And I too; am I on a bed of roses?'

"In passing Bull's bivouac it was my fate to witness another very
interesting scene. A wounded hussar had somehow or other found his
way there from another part of the field, and exhausted by the
exertion, had just fainted. Some of those collected round him cried
out for water, and a young driver, who, being outside the throng,
had not yet seen the sufferer, seized a canteen and ran away to fill
it. Whilst he was absent the hussar so far recovered as to be able
to sit up. The driver returned at this moment, and pushing aside
his comrades, knelt down to enable the hussar to drink, holding the
canteen to his lips, and in so doing recognised a brother whom he not
seen for years. His emotion was extreme, as may be supposed."

From the narrative of the march to Paris which followed Waterloo, we take only one incident. Mercer is at Nivelles, watching the crowds and the excitement in the streets:--

"Suddenly a loud shout announces something extraordinary even on
this day of excitement. Every one hurries to the spot, pushing each
other, jumping, shouting. 'What can it mean?' I inquired. 'Monsieur
l'Officier, c'est un convoi des prisonniers que vient d'arriver,'
replied my man, doffing at the same time his _bonnet de nuit_ and
making a most respectful salaam. I stopped to see the convoy pass.
The prisoners, dressed in grey _capotes_ and _bonnets de fourrage_,
marched steadily on. Some _vieux moustaches_ look very grave, and
cast about furious glances at the noisy crowd which follows them with
the perseverance of a swarm of mosquitoes, _sacré_-ing and venting
all kind of illiberal abuse on them and the b-- of an Emperor. Many,
however, younger men, laugh, joke, and return their abuse with
interest, whilst the soldiers of the escort (English) march doggedly
along, pushing aside the more forward of the throng, and apparently
as if only marching round a relief.

"At noon arrived in the neighbourhood of Mons, where we overtook
the Greys, Inniskillings, Ross's troop of horse artillery, and
several other corps, both of cavalry and infantry. We had, in
short, now rejoined the army. The Greys and the Inniskillings were
mere wrecks--the former, I think, did not muster 200 men, and the
latter, with no greater strength, presented a sad spectacle of
disorganisation and bad discipline; they had lost more than half
their appointments. Some had helmets, some had none; many had the
skull-cap, but with the crest cut or broken off; some were on their
own large horses, others on little ones they had picked up; belts
there were on some; many were without, not only belts, but also
canteens and haversacks. The enemy surely had not effected in a
single day so complete a disorganisation, and I shrewdly suspect
these rollicking Paddies of having mainly spoilt themselves. The
other corps all looked remarkably well, although they, too, had
partaken in the fight.

"We crossed after the Greys, and came with them on the main road to
Maubeuge at the moment a Highland regiment (perhaps the 92nd), which
had come through Mons, was passing. The moment the Highlanders saw
the Greys an electrifying cheer burst spontaneously from the column,
which was answered as heartily; and on reaching the road the two
columns became blended for a few minutes--the Highlanders running
to shake hands with their brave associates in the late battle. This
little burst of feeling was delightful--everybody felt it; and
although two or three general officers were present, none interfered
to prevent or to censure this breach of discipline."

FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 9: "Here were more cuirasses than men, for the wounded (who could move), divesting themselves of its encumbrance, had made their escape, leaving their armour on the ground where they had fallen."]

[Footnote 10: In some accounts of the battle and visits to the field, &c., it has been stated that this garden was a scene of slaughter. Totally untrue! As I have stated in the text, I did not see above two or three altogether. There certainly might have been more concealed amongst the vegetation, but they could not have been many.]
