A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When my father the late Captain William Siborne, Unattached, was engaged in the construction of his Nlodel of the Battle of Waterloo, he was authorised by the General Commauding-in-C hief Lord Hill to issue a Circular Letter to the several surviving Officers of the Battle who might be in a position to afford him the information necessary for the completion of his undertaking. Copies of this letter, and of the plan which accompanied it (on one half the original scale), are annexed. A great number of letters were sent to him in reply, and subsequently, when writing his History of the Campaign, he received many additional letters and memoranda relating, not only to the precise period of the Battle represented on the Model, but also to the operations and incidents of the Campaign generally. These letters were written to Captain Siborne with the knowledge that the information contained in them would be conveyed to the public. The greater number of the letters, amounting to several hundreds, are still in my possession, and as the 75tli anniversary of the Battle occurred last year, and general attention has been redirected to that great event, I have thought that the publication of a selected portion of them might be of interest, not only to the A rmy, particularly to those Regiments or Corps which took part in the Campaign, but also to the public generally. Many families and individuals will here find recorded the original accounts given by relatives who served in the Waterloo Campaign of what they experienced and of the parts which they played in it.
