F.  The 3rd Batt. of the Royal Scots, which was reduced in 1817, distinguished itself in a particular manner at Quatre Bras. “Being removed from the centre of the 5th Division, it charged and routed a column of the enemy. It was then formed in a square to receive the cavalry, and though repeated attacks were made, not the slightest impression was produced. Wherever the lancers and cuirassiers presented themselves they found a stern and undismayed front which they vainly endeavoured to penetrate.” Mudford’s Historical Account of the Campaign in the Netherlands, in 1815.

G.  This regt. had just returned from active service in America and landed at Ostend a few days before Waterloo was fought. In fact, Gen. Lambert’s brigade only reached Waterloo by a forced march just as the battle was commencing. Several captains of the 1st Batt. 4th Foot had been killed in the attack on New Orleans—hence the small number of captains present at Waterloo. Siborne gives the names of six additional captains as present with this regt. at Waterloo, but as the official Army List for 1817 does not credit them with having the Waterloo medal, the Editor has been reluctantly compelled to omit their names.
