The 52nd (Oxfordshire) Foot
-
Narrated by:

By:
Trained at Sir John Moore's Light Infantry camp at Shorncliffe, Kent, the 52nd formed part of the famous Light Division, central to Wellington's successes in the Peninsula War. At Waterloo the Regiment formed part of Adam's 3rd Brigade where it played an important roll on the right flank of the battlefield. This episode looks at the horror of their experience there, surprising insights into discipline in this crack force as part of the army of occupation following Waterloo, and what became of some of the men in the years after.
