The first part of a look at the 10th Brigade at Waterloo, commanded by Sir John Lambert. This episode looks at the poor old 4th Foot, the King's Own, who never seemed to catch a break! It looks at the hardships they endured not only in the Peninsula but the devastating disaster they suffered just five months prior to Waterloo. We also look at what further hardships lay ahead in the years following the peace of 1815.
