The Waterloo Roll Call by Charles Dalton

Description

Dalton drew on the official muster and casualty rolls to give the service and fate of each mounted and regimental officer present at Waterloo in 1815, together with their rewards and wounds. For the genealogist, the Napoleonic historian, or the collector of medals, it is an essential work of reference, and for the reader of Waterloo memoirs it supplies the cast list behind every familiar exploit.

Where such works are dry, Dalton’s annotations — a wound here, a medal there, a promotion a week after the battle — are quietly alive, and the whole stands as a fitting monument to the officers of the field.

Why readers still come back to it

• Every British officer at Waterloo, systematically listed.
• An unrivaled reference for historians and genealogists.
• Compiled from the original returns with careful annotations.
