The Duke of Wellington was given command of the Anglo/Dutch and German forces (circa 100,000 men), who would have

Probably not the most explanatory text chosen by Tango to explain the content. I strongly suspect most of you are aware of the content of the three above paragraphs already. Michael Crumplin has written extensively on the topic of the title. This is from The Bulletin of the Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England. His best known work is "The Bloody Fields of Waterloo". See the references he uses in this article. Pricey though…….No discount to Fellows of the RCS alas. |
