Notes
U. The Commissariat officers who served at Waterloo were not granted the Waterloo medal, and none of them ever appeared in any Army List with the glorious “W” before their names, although, in after years, those who had served in the Pa. had the “P” before their names in the Army Lists, and they recd. the Par. medal in 1848. It is, therefore, impossible, to give any correct list of officers belonging to the above department, but the Editor gives the names of six officers who were undoubtedly at Waterloo.
1. Afterwards Sir Randal Routh, K.C.B., commissary-gen. Son of Richard Routh, Chief Justice of Newfoundland. Bn. at Poole, co. Dorset, 1787. Served in the Pa. M. in Paris, in 1815, the niece of the French Bishop of Canada. D. in Jersey, 29th Nov., 1858.
2. Reed, the Par. medal with eleven clasps in 1848. Retd. h. p. as commissary-gen. 30th Aug., 1833. Living 1846.
3. H. p. commissary-gen. 24th Dec., 1844. Recd. the Par. medal with seven clasps in 1848. See mention of this officer in the paper on “Waterloo” in the Cornhill Mag., 1897.
4. Dep. commissary-gen. 22nd Oct., 1816. Served with the Walcheren expedition and in the Pa. He wrote a MS. journal of his services which came into the Editor’s possession a few years ago, and is now in the R.A. Institution Library.
5. Afterwards the Rev. A.R.C. Dallas, Rector of Wonston, Hants. “He left a distinguished name behind him as a clergyman, particularly in Ireland, where his work was well recognised.” Eldest son of Robert Dallas, of Dallas Castle.
