COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.[U]
Footnote U:
The Commissariat officers who served at Waterloo were not granted the
Waterloo medal, and none of them ever appeared in any _Army List_ with
the glorious “W” before their names, although, in after years, those
who had served in the Pa. had the “P” before their names in the _Army
Lists_, and they recd. the Par. medal in 1848. It is, therefore,
impossible, to give any correct list of officers belonging to the
above department, but the Editor gives the names of six officers who
were undoubtedly at Waterloo.
