The Waterloo Journal Vol. 38 No.1

NOTE: The following review refers to both volumes of Wellington's Men Remembered.

These two well produced, painstaking volumes form a truly momentous work which, as the sub-title explains, provides a register of the memorials of over 3,150 British and Allied Napoleonic officers and men who served in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, together with 150 regimental and battlefield memorials in 28 countries worldwide.

Although interesting, these are not really casual reading books as such, but superbly detailed works of reference which will surely come to be regarded as very important research tools for military historians, medal collectors and genealogists alike. Each of the two volumes runs to well over 600 pages and include regimental and place indexes. Also included with each volume is a separate DVD with thousands of photographs of memorials.

Most of the entries have been found on site visits, while others which have not yet been found or are no longer extant have been traced by means of documentary research in libraries and archives and have been recorded from published memorial inscriptions. Many of the latter represent memorials that have long been lost, others still remain to be visited and recorded. Some have been entered into the register on the strength of church burial records.

Arranged alphabetically, with full transcriptions and locations of the memorials, the various entries provide the soldier’s full name, rank and regiment, location of the memorial and indication of a photograph in the DVD, ranks and dates of appointment, service in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, other service records before 1808 and after 1815, honours, medals and awards, family links and bibliographical sources.

The text opens with a foreword by His Grace the Duke of Wellington and before the register of names comes a preface, introduction, list of abbreviations used and a fulsome list of acknowledgements. From Charles Abell (lieutenant, 83rd Regiment of Foot) to Ernst Christian Carl von Wurmb (captain, 5th Line Battalion KGL), Wellington’s men are indeed remembered.
The authors are archivists for The Waterloo Association and this splendid work is a credit to them both.

Lectures des grognards

This book has a clear objective, but will appeal to a potentially large additional readership for many different reasons. It is a work of scholarship and has been almost a lifetime's endeavour by the authors, continuing on into their retirement. It follows on from Volume I, covering M to Z. It is a heft volume and the cover price if not unreasonable for such a work.
Had the authors confine their efforts to just recordings to a list of names, together with the units that they served during the Peninsular War and/or Battle of Waterloo, it would have been a magnificent effort and of great value to historians, enthusiasts and the descendants of those recorded. However, they have done so much more. WE must salute the authors and appreciate the publisher. Strongly recommended.
