HORSE ARTILLERY GUNS AT WATERLOO. 
BY 
Colonel E. A. WHINYATES, late 
AND 
General H, LYNEDOCH GAEDINER, c.b., Equerry to the Queen, 
Major Murdoch lias lately given us some very valuable and interesting 
papers, biographical and historical, connected with the Regiment and 
some of its former members. It is noticeable in these that he spares 
no pains to fully establish the truth and accuracy of what he states. 
1 feel, therefore, that I need make no apology for pointing out that in his 
paper describing the trophy guns at Windsor (R.A.I. “ Proceedings,” 
October 1893), he has fallen in error concerning the number of 6-pr. 
guns used at the battle of Waterloo, and also with regard to the services 
of Major 1 2 Joseph Brome on that day. 
The following form, prepared in April 1816 by direction of Lieut.- 
Colonel Sir John May, Assistant-Adjutant-General R.A., gives the 
troops and brigades with the army in 1815, and their armaments :■—
