From the frontline of love and war, a wife’s voice reveals the human side of Waterloo. This nonfiction narrative offers a intimate look at a nurse’s experience nursing her wounded husband, a British officer, during the great battle and its aftermath. It blends personal resilience with historical context to illuminate the cost of war on families and the quiet courage it takes to care for another.

This edition presents the World War I-era retelling alongside historical notes that frame the De Lancey family’s story. It focuses on daily life at the field hospital, the challenges of scarce supplies, and the steady, compassionate resolve that carries both patient and caregiver through a perilous time.

Firsthand observations of a field hospital and wartime nursing at Waterloo.

Details of daily routines, small comforts, and practical improvisations to ease suffering.

Personal reflections on duty, endurance, and the emotional toll of war.

Historical context that situates a private narrative within a sweeping historical moment.

Ideal for readers of memoirs and military history who seek a personal perspective on the Napoleonic era and the intimate experiences of those who cared for the wounded.
