Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Reminiscences and Recollections of Captain Gronow, Vol. 2 About three weeks after the battle of Waterloo I received orders from the Horse Guards to join my battalion in London. Two of my brother officers who had gone over to Paris, Tom Brooke and Hunter, the adjutant, who were to accompany me, requested me to return by way of Brussels, as they were very anxious to see the field of Waterloo. I complied with their request, and acted as their cicerone. On the following day we arrived in Brussels, and dined, a few days afterward, with General Sir George Cooke, who had commanded our division, and lost an arm. He was still suffering from his wound, and was living at the hotel where supper had been ordered for the Emperor Napoleon in anticipation of his certain triumph on the 18th.
