Third and final part of this look at Vandeleur's brigade in 1815. The 16th Light Dragoons were an experienced regiment of Peninsula veterans. Later, after Waterloo, the regiment was converted to lancers and, after a royal scandal, banished to India for 25 years.
Erratum - I refer to the superb research of Janet and David Bromley and their work "Wellington's Men Remembered" but accidentally say "Bentley" rather than "Bromley". Early senility setting in - apologies!
