A commission was given to him in 1810 in recognition of his father’s services. Served in the Pa., and led the ladder party of the stormers of the 52nd at Badajoz. An extract from his journal is given in Moorsom’s Records of the 52nd Regiment, and graphically describes the crisis of Waterloo. If Col. Gawler claims the whole credit for the 52nd, he is at one with the rest of the officers of that gallant regt. The truth seems to be that there were two distinct columns of Napoleon’s Guards launched against our troops at the close of Waterloo, and that whilst one was met and routed by our Guards in the centre, the other was attacked in flank by the 52nd and hurled back.
