I've got about four different sizes of miniature Waterloos so I should dig them out for a "group photo".
When you look at Hart's Army lists, many have a curious, almost gothic script "W" after their names. The meaning is obvious and I think that they got some extra seniority because of their Waterloo service.
Anyone know when the last veteran of the battle passed away? OK, yes Google will answer it but why not ask the members?

I have a thin folder of modern copy photos and newspaper clippings concerning the last veterans of Waterloo and Balaclave, had it for decades and sure enough, now I want it, can't find it.
