Morris, of the 73rd, in his _Recollections of Military Service_, records that Ensign Deacon was shot through an arm at Quatre Bras and conveyed by the baggage-train to Brussels. “The officer’s wife, who with her three children had been left with the baggage guard, passed the whole night in searching for her husband among the wounded. At length she was informed he had been conveyed to Brussels.... Conveyances there were none to be had, and she was in the last state of pregnancy. She made the best of her way on foot with her children, exposed to the terrific storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, which continued without intermission for about ten hours. Faint, exhausted, and wet to the skin, having no other clothes but a black silk dress and light shawl, she yet happily surmounted all these difficulties, reached Brussels on the morning of the 18th, and found her husband in very comfortable quarters, where she also was accommodated, the next day giving birth to a fine girl, who was afterwards christened ‘Waterloo Deacon.‘” Footnote 16: Lieut. 4th Aug., 1815.
