The report provides a highly detailed description of the part played by the Hanoverian troops. In his report of the 23rd November 1824, Georg von Müller recalled the fighting at Waterloo: ‘After we had advanced about 1000 paces in square, enemy infantry, formed in line, which I judge to have been between 1000 and 1200 men, showed itself on one of the undulating heights about 400 to 600 paces on our immediate left. The brigade made a movement so that the 2nd Line Battalion became the right wing, and then halted. A short musket exchanged ensued. However, Colonel du Plat gave the order to advance and to attack the enemy with the bayonet, which they were not expecting, and as we advanced they retreated into an old oak coppice, which was surrounded by a deep ditch and banks of earth. I believe that this is where Colonel du Plat was killed, for I did not see him thereafter.’ The contents of this file are also available in Hanoverian Correspondence #1.
