The 4 Troops of the 2nd Life Guards in 1815


My name is Martin Aaron, I'm a lecturer at University College London. Since the year 2000 I’ve been building a database of the British army at Waterloo. By compiling original records from the Public Record office and regimental archives, I’ve gathered information about each of the 33,000 British combatants in 1815. This podcast series examines that data through a series of weekly lecture-type presentations. There is also a YouTube version available at http://www.youtube.com/@TheWaterlooPodcast-ks4ox
