EDITORS COMMENTS
The Charge of the Scots Greys at the Battle of Waterloo: Scotland Forever! (18 June 1815) This evocative image captures the daring charge of the Scots Greys during the pivotal Battle of Waterloo, fought on 18 June 1815. The scene depicts the 2nd Dragoons, also known as the Scots Greys, thundering towards the French lines with unyielding determination. The regiment, part of the British Army, was renowned for its distinctive tartan kilts and fearless bravery. The Battle of Waterloo was the final major battle of the Napoleonic Wars, marking the end of Napoleon Bonaparte's rule as the Emperor of the French. The battle took place near Waterloo, a small town in present-day Belgium, and involved a large coalition of European powers led by the Duke of Wellington, pitted against the French forces under Napoleon's command. The Hundred Days War had begun when Napoleon escaped from Elba in March 1815, and the allied forces had been racing to gather and prepare for the inevitable confrontation. The Battle of Waterloo saw the culmination of this struggle, with the Scots Greys playing a crucial role in the decisive moment of the battle. As the French forces retreated, the Scots Greys, led by their commander, Lord Edward Somerset, charged with the battle cry "Scotland Forever!" The charge broke the French cavalry's left flank, turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Allies. The victory secured the end of the Napoleonic Wars and solidified the United Kingdom's status as a major European power. This powerful photographic print captures the essence of the Scots Greys' valiant charge, immortalizing a significant moment in military history.
