The 1st Foot (Royal Scots)

The first part of a look at Pack’s Brigade at Quatre Bras and Waterloo. The 3rd Battalion Royal Scots were battle-hardened veterans of the Peninsula War including the carnage of San Sebastian in 1813, but 16th June 1815 would still be their hardest day’s fighting. Many thanks to Jimmy Springthorpe, Jonathan Durbin, Oli Silverman Houdi McCabe, and Mick Crumplin.For Mick’s superb research into surgeons and surgery in the Napoleonic Wars: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waterloo-Hos... and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Guthries-War...There should have been maps for Quatre Bras in this episode but had some tech issues at the last hour. I will include some in the next episode to hopefully show the Brigade’s movements more clearly.
