Hi All... I thought it would be interesting for some of you to know about this book, principally because one of my Waterloo Hougoumont Heroes came from Argyll. Shona and I tried to find his birthplace, but were unsucessful. Perhaps others on hear may continue the research. He 'signed-up' in Glasgow and was an orphan. Name..., Brice (Bruce) McGregor.

All we have to do now is wait for both RHQs to debate and decide if they should reinstate 34 Waterloo Medals. 18xScots and 16xColdstream for the Guards Museum. It's all in the book..., and better than any Sean Bean movie.


Please don't forget Father's Day. :wink:

Thank you for that..., very kind of you.

FYI..., I was not content with Amazon's honesty in relation to Royalities, so I am republishing via Bookvault and their 'Great British Bookshop.' It should be available in a couple of weeks, in time for Christmas.
Concerning Brice, I mentioned him with a question for all my friends in the Household Cavalry. It was an interesting question and I'm waiting for one of the guides to reply.

..., Iain.
