(22) See _Waterloo Roll Call_, p. 35, and _Army List_ for 1815, p. 31. (23) The Duke began the Waterloo despatch very early on the 19th at Waterloo, but he finished it at Brussels, that same morning. (24) _I.e._, not only Waterloo, but Ligny, Quatre Bras, and the fighting that took place on the 15th and 17th June. (25) Mr William Hay of Duns Castle. He had been in the 16th Light Dragoons in the Peninsular War (see _Army List_ for 1811, p. 89), and had come over from England a few days before to see his old friends, and introduce his young brother, Cornet Alexander Hay, to his old regiment. (26) Mr Hay was on the battlefield during the early part of the fight. Early next morning he revisited the field, to try to find some trace of his brother. The body was never found. He had been killed late at night on the French position, while the 16th Light Dragoons were in pursuit of the enemy. (Tomkinson's _Diary of a Cavalry Officer_, 1809-1815, p. 314; also _Reminiscences_, 1808-1815, _under Wellington_, by Captain William Hay, C.B.) There is a memorial tablet to him in the church at Waterloo, with the following inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Alexander Hay, Esq., of Nunraw, Cornet in the 16th Light Dragoons, aged 18 years, who fell gloriously in the Memorable Battle of Waterloo, June 18, 1815. "_O dolor atque decus magnum ... Haec te prima dies bello dedit, haec eadem aufert._ "This tablet was placed here by his Brothers and Sisters." (27) No doubt Lieutenant-General John Mackenzie who was in command at Antwerp. He succeeded Sir Colin Halkett in that post. See _Army List_ for 1815, p. 8. (28) Another indication that it was in the village of Mont St Jean and not Waterloo. (29) "One of the most painful visits I ever paid was to a little wretched cottage at the end of the village which was pointed out to me as the place where De Lancey was lying mortally wounded. How wholly shocked I was on entering, to find Lady De Lancey seated on the only broken chair the hovel contained, by the side of her dying husband. I made myself known. She grasped me by the hand, and pointed to poor De Lancey covered with his coat, and with just a spark of life left."--_Reminiscences, etc._, by Captain William Hay, C.B., p. 202. (30) Creevey states that as he was on his way from Brussels to Waterloo on Tuesday the 20th June, the Duke overtook him and said he was going to see Sir Frederick Ponsonby and De Lancey. The Duke was in plain clothes and riding in a curricle with Colonel Felton Hervey.--_The Creevey Papers_, p. 238. (31) Probably the Duke had in his mind the charge of Lord Edward Somerset's Household Brigade against the French Cuirassiers, which took place about 2 o'clock. Alava, in his report to the Spanish Government, calls it "the most sanguinary cavalry fight perhaps ever witnessed."
