The charge of the Scots Greys at the Battle of Waterloo (18 June 1815) is remembered as a turning point toward the final defeat of Napoleon's forces by the Duke of Wellington's allied army. Initially held back from the action, just after 1:30pm the Scots Greys advanced at a walk through the muddy ground to reach the Gordons. Together they rallied to face the French column. Scotland yet, on to victory!
