History


The Waterloo Medal was established by General Order on July 29, 1815, following the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. It was the first British campaign medal to be conferred upon every member of the British Army who served in the battle, regardless of rank. The Medal was also awarded to members of the King's German Legion and members of the British Army who served in the Battle of Ligny on June 16, 1815, and the Battle of Quatre Bras on June 16, 1815.

There may be additional versions that differ in size.

Perhaps you can make a comment about varying types of suspensions. There were a wide variety of silver fitted suspensions added. The original iron ring used to rust and cause discoloration on tunics!

That's interesting about the original ring! I hadn't considered the affect on the uniforms. Are they more rare? I posted mine in the 'collection' forum to share while I try to find information about the recipient "John Beaumont." It has the original iron ring!
