Transcriber’s Note:

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.

The bulk of this text consists of annotated tables containing names, dates, and ranks achieved of participants in the British Army at the battle of Waterloo.

Most entries are accompanied by brief biographical sketches. The notes follow each table, as printed.

The numbering of the notes for each table has been retained, beginning anew with ‘1’ for each table.

Hyperlinks are provided which allow the reader to

handily inspect each note.

The footnotes to the prefatory material, and to the headings of many tables, originally appeared as an asterisk. These have been re-sequenced from A to W and appear after the paragraph where they are referenced.
