Sir William de Lancey pointed to a direction to our left by which the Prussians would come, and, that Sir Hussey Vivian was on no account to move his Brigade from the position assigned to it until he had put himself in communication with the Prussians, and they, the Prussians, had joined or reached his left. Sir William de Lancey showed a dark spot on a hill by a plantation, and said if they were troops, it was certainly a Prussian picquet. I made the remark that they certainly were troops.14

Edmund Wheatley, whose watch was evidently slow, recalled: ‘A Ball whizzed in the air. Up we started simultaneously. I looked at my watch. It was just eleven o’clock, Sunday (Eliza just in Church at Wallingford or at Abingdon) morning. In five minutes a stunning noise took place and a shocking havock commenced.’15 They were the first moments of action. The battle of Waterloo had begun.
