Footnote 1:
This gallant officer received the thanks of Sir Thomas Picton for his
services at Quatre Bras where he (Hamilton) was sev. wnded. After the
battle it was thought necessary to amputate his leg; and three times
had the tourniquet encircled his limb, preparatory to amputation, when
each time the surgeon was called elsewhere. It was then decided to let
the leg take its chance, and Hamilton eventually recovered. C.B. for
Waterloo. Quitted the service in 1829 with rank of Col. All his
service had been spent in “the old three tens,” as the 30th were
called, and he had fought with them in Egypt and in the Pa. Had the
gold medal for Salamanca. D. at Woolwich, 4th June, 1838. In his
obituary notice, given in the _United Service Journal_, it is stated
that he was nearly related to the noble house of Lothian. Whatever
family he may have belonged to, he did it credit. He left a widow and
two sons.
Footnote 2:
C.B. for Waterloo. Aftds. lt.-col. of 64th Regt. Retd. before 1824. D.

Footnote 3:
Lt.-Col. _Vigoureux_ was sev. wnded. at Waterloo. C.B. Lt.-Col. of the
45th Regt., 20th Dec., 1826. D. as col. on retd. list, 24th Dec.,
1841.
Footnote 4:
It appears that this officer acted as an additional A.D.C. to Gen. Sir
T. Picton, at Waterloo. At the second funeral of Picton in St. Paul’s
Cathedral one of the mourners was the Rev. Dr. MʻNabb, from Canada,
nephew of the above. The antiquity of the MʻNabb is delightfully
illustrated by the well-known remark of one of their clan that “at the
flood they did not need to take refuge in Noah’s Ark, as the MʻNabbs
had a boat of their own!”
Footnote 5:
Made bt.-maj. for Waterloo. Promoted maj. on unattached list, 1826,
Lt.-col. 1837. D. at Wigfair, St. Asaph, 22nd Sept., 1856.

M.P. for Donegal. D. 23rd June, 1869.
