Notes

K. In 1793 the Hon. Arthur Wellesley was appointed lt.-col. of this regt. and commanded it for nearly ten eventful years. Wellington never forgot his old regiment, and it is recorded that he honoured Sir Colin Halkett’s brigade with several visits on Waterloo Day. In one visit late in the afternoon of that eventful day, he inquired “How they were?” The answer was that two-thirds of their number were down, and that the rest were so exhausted that leave to retire, even for a short time, was most desirable, some of the foreign corps, who had not suffered, to take their place. Gen. Halkett was told that the issue of the battle depended on the unflinching front of the British troops, and that even a change of place was hazardous in the extreme. Halkett impressively said, “Enough, my lord; we stand here until the last man falls.”
