Waterloo Medal 1815
Medal awarded to Thomas Kelly, 2nd Battalion, 69th (South Lincolnshire) Regiment of Foot.
Two days before Waterloo the 69th Regiment faced the French at the battle of Quatre Bras. Here they faced a French cavalry charge and were forced to retreat. They suffered severe losses and the dishonour of seeing the regiment's King's Colour captured by the French. A much reduced force combined with the 33rd Regiment to fight at Waterloo.

E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki. I ētahi wā, kāore anō kia whakaūhia ngā pūkete e ngā kaimahi o Te Whare Taonga, tēnā pea he hapa kei roto i ngā kōrero.
