Letters from the Battle of Waterloo
Gareth Glover
Gareth Glover is a historian specializing in the Waterloo campaign and the Peninsular War. He left school at eighteen to join the Royal Navy as a Seaman Officer and completed his intensive training course at Dartmouth College where he served alongside Prince Andrew. He then served on a number of frigates and destroyers in various roles rising to the position of Navigating Officer. Switching to small ships he served as First Lieutenant of a number of Patrol vessels in Northern Ireland. He has published articles in The Waterloo Journal and The Journal of The Royal Artillery, and a novel about Waterloo, Voices of Thunder.
Waterloo is probably the most famous battle in military history. Thousands of books have been written on the subject and yet so many mysteries remain, so much controversy abounds.
Letters from the Battle of Waterloo, by presenting more than 200 previously unpublished accounts by Allied officers who fought at the battle, goes right back to primary source material. In the letters the Allied officers recount where they were and what they saw. Gareth Glover has provided background historical information but lets the officers speak for themselves as they reveal exactly what happened on the 16th, 17th and 18th June 1815.
Originally sent to, and at the request of, Captain W. Siborne, then in the process of building his famous model of the battle, these letters have remained unread in the Siborne papers in the British Library. A selection of material was published in Waterloo Letters in 1891 but much of vast historical significance did not see the light then and has remained inaccessible until now.
Gareth Glover now presents this collection of important correspondence for the first time. There are letters here by Major Baring, George Bowles, Edward Whinyates, John Gurwood and Edward Cotton as well as letters by Hanoversian and King’s Geman Legion officers.
This is a veritable treasure trove of new material on the battle and one which will mean that every historian’s view of the battle will need correcting.
