Waterloo 1815 (Thomas Elliott, Royal Waggon Train.), fitted with replacement silver straight-bar suspension, lightly polished, good fine and better

Thomas Elliott is confirmed upon the Medal Roll as present with the Royal Waggon Train at Waterloo, on 18 June 1815. The Train, comprising some 11 officers and 265 other ranks, played an important part in the battle by delivering supplies of ammunition to the hard-pressed frontline troops. Indeed, the actions of one member of the corps - Corporal Brewster - have gone down in history for single-handedly resupplying the garrison of the surrounded chateau of Hougoumont at a critical moment.
