Excerpt from Notes on the Battle of Waterloo

A mere memoir of my services might be considered a piece of egotism; yet I feel myself so placed, since the death of the Duke of Wellington, as to wish that my friends may see a sketch or short record of those services. To solve the difficulty of giving such a sketch a general, interest, I have made it a mere introduction in all its parts to the following subjects of the highest military and general interest, viz.:- First, an instance is given, to serve as example in cases of the charge of a small isolated body of infantry by a superior force of cavalry, neither party having support of any kind. Second, some isolated events of interest which took place at the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajos. Third, the retreat from the field of battle of Quatre Bras to that of Waterloo.
