In his letters Francis Kinchant provided a description of the events leading to the Battle of Waterloo, in which he was killed. Two other letters, one from Serjeant Charles Ewart and another from an anonymous writer, provide an  insight  into  Francis  Kinchant's  death during the fighting: 'I ought to have said that the French officer, prior to Mr. K.'s address to the Sergeant, had cried that he had surrendered and was their prisoner and dropped his sabre. Mr. K., to whom the French officer had delivered up his sword, addressed him in French and ordered him to the rear. Ewart was preparing to proceed in the charge, when he heard the report of a pistol  behind  him and,  turning  round from a suspicion  of some treachery, the first object which met his eye was Mr. K. falling backwards over his horse, apparently in a lifeless state, and the French officer attempting to hide his pistol under his coat.’  The  file  also contains extensive genealogical and military service information.
