Much of the material available to readers in the English language interested in the exploits of the troops of Hanover, Brunswick and Nassau is in the form of dry official reports, which stick to the basic facts and avoid all sentimentality and emotion. However, unbeknown to virtually anyone in the English-speaking world interested in the more human aspects of these 'foreign' troops fighting alongside the British at Waterloo, there are a number of memoirs and sets of letters, which have been published in Germany over the last two centuries. Until now, these had never been translated into English and so have been inaccessible to the vast majority. This volume seeks to put this right and to bring to life the human story of these German troops - their trials and tribulations, their sufferings and their emotions - and to finally reveal their views on the battle which many entered with mixed emotions. Highlights include an account of the confusion in the final 'great advance' at Waterloo; eyewitness recollections of the defense of La Haye Sainte; rare battle reports by the Duke of Wellington; and a fascinating series of letters explaining the whereabouts of a number of 'missing' Hanoverian regimental and staff surgeons and subsequent court martials.

THE HAYFIELD FIGHT MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING Folks, in our recorded western history seldom is found a more thorough and detailed report of an Army Career and, of special importance, the recording of one of the most disastrous defeats on the western fronts. Seems that a former Prussian Army Officer Captain Sigismund Sternberg had offered his service and life to the U S. Army. Trouble was, there was a serious cloud over the last battle called The Hayfield Fight where he had lost his life. Here the author goes into great detail with page after page chronicling the event.
