Waterloo Medal Roll
 
I only noted down the 11th Light Dragoons & 3rd Battallion 14th Regiment of Foot whilst researching a couple of my ancestors & have put them on my British Family History website. Several of these soldiers that fought at Waterloo went on to serve in India with these regiments. Just click the link to view the names.
