My name is Martin Aaron, I'm a lecturer at University College London. Since the year 2000 I’ve been building a database of the British army at Waterloo. By compiling original records from the Public Record office and regimental archives, I’ve gathered information about each of the 33,000 British combatants in 1815. This podcast series examines that data.

My apologies to Steve Brown whose excellent article on the 28th available here https://www.napoleon-series.org/military-info/organization/Britain/Infantry/Regiments/c_28thFoot.html I incorrectly credited to Ron McGuigan - I will add an addendum to the next episode!
