"June, 1815. The Coldstream Guards and the third guards are waiting impatiently for orders to move into battle against Napoleon and his French army. Every day seems endless as the troops wait for Wellington's orders. When word is finally received, the path to glory it is not quite what the troops were hoping for. Hours of marching during the day are followed by restless nights' sleep in the rain, dampening their spirits and weakening morale. When the group eventually encounter the French in battle, a special command comes from Wellington himself to Colonel James Macdonell of the Coldstream Guards: hold the chateau at Hougoumont and do not let the French pass. What happens next is history."

Strange, they were the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards at the time, not the The Coldstream Guards (1855) and third guards were the 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards later the Scots Fusilier Guards (1831), then the Scots Guards (1877). The jacket blurb seems a bit suspect. |

And a novel is held to some lesser standard of historical accuracy? |
