The book is the first of two volumes on the Hanoverian contingent and records the part that they played in the campaign. In his letter of the 20th June 1815, Lieutenant-Colonel Friedrich von Wissell described the moment that the command of the 1st King's German Legion Brigade devolved upon him during the Battle of Waterloo: 'Shortly before four o'clock we advanced, formed square (4 deep) in line and with the cavalry; whereupon Colonel du Plat's horse was shot and he was wounded in the abdomen. We then advanced in echelon. Half a battalion was formed from the four rifle companies, and placed under the command of Captain Heise of the 4th Line Battalion. They had to clear a wood on our right flank of Tirailleurs and met with determined resistance, but charged and threw them back.' The book is enhanced by colour maps and ten pages of full colour illustrations by Gerry Embleton, thus making it an indespensible source of reference for all Waterloo enthusiasts.
