 Artist: Stanley Wood [Browse all Stanley Wood]

Under the command of the Earl of Uxbridge, the Scots Greys formed
part of the third line of Wellington's troops on the left flank.
Pictured is The Scots Greys famous charge at the Battle of Waterloo.
Due to uneven ground they were only able to canter towards the enemy
however despite their reduced speed they still managed to wade through
the French 45th Regiment. The Greys ultimately suffered heavy losses
taking over 200 casualties and losing more than half of their horses.
