Waterloo 1815 (Thomas Tulet, 28th Regiment Foot), fitted with a contemporary silver straight-bar suspension, medal sometime lacquered, minor pitting and edge knocks, good fine and better

Thomas Tulet served in Captain (Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel) Sir Frederick Steven's No. 9 Company during the Waterloo Campaign. The 28th (North Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot served with much distinction in Belgium, fighting at both Quatre Bras on 16 June and at Waterloo itself two days later. Part of Major-General Sir James Kempt's 8th Brigade, on 18 June they were positioned around the centre of Wellington's line and consequently saw a great deal of heavy fighting - indeed, they were the only British infantry regiment mentioned in his Waterloo Despatch. Additionally, their part in the Battle of Quatre Bras was later immortalised in a painting ('The 28th Regiment at Quatre Bras', 1875) by none other than Elizabeth Thompson, Lady Butler, the Victorian artist of famous scenes from British military campaigns and battles.
