"The Waterloo Roll Call - With Biographical Notes and Anecdotes by Charles Dalton is a detailed register of the officers who served in the British Army at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Drawing on military records, personal correspondence, and regimental histories, Dalton provides more than just a list of names—he includes short biographies, service records, and often colorful anecdotes about the men who fought. The book serves as both a reference work and a narrative of individual experiences, capturing the diversity of backgrounds and careers of those who took part in the campaign that ended Napoleon's rule.
Beyond its function as a roll call, the work conveys a sense of the human side of military history. Dalton highlights acts of bravery, misfortune, and even eccentricity, illustrating the character of officers from different regiments. By combining factual detail with personal stories, the book preserves the memory of the soldiers and gives readers insight into the social and military fabric of the early 19th century. It remains an important resource for historians, genealogists, and enthusiasts of the Napoleonic Wars."
