The Cavalry that Broke Napoleon: The King’s Dragoon Guards at Waterloo

The best-selling author of The Battle, Alessandro Barbero, was asked which action saved Wellington at Waterloo prior to the arrival of the Prussians. He replied: "If I should indulge in that game, Iâ€™d say the cavalry charge which effectively broke dâ€™Erlon's attack." The greatest contributor to that charge was the Kingâ€™s Dragoon Guards (KDG), which fielded nearly half of the Household Brigadeâ€™s sabers. This book tells the remarkable story of the KDG before, during, and after the battle of Waterloo, drawing on private, unpublished archive material. It concludes with their link to the Queenâ€™s Dragoon Guards. HRH The Prince of Wales is Colonel-in-Chief 1st Queenâ€™s Dragoon Guards.
