EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch by Dutch artist Jan Willem Pieneman captures the essence of two esteemed British military figures, Sir Frederick Ponsonby and Sir Colin Campbell, in the aftermath of the historic Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The portrait, titled WM 1468-1948 and held by Historic England Photo Library, was created in 1821, providing a rare glimpse into the lives of these brave soldiers who played pivotal roles during the conflict. Sir Frederick Ponsonby, depicted on the left, was a major general and the Colonel of the 12th Light Dragoons. He is shown with a bandaged head, a poignant reminder of the severe wounds he sustained during the battle. Ponsonby led a charge to support the withdrawal of the Union Brigade, an action that earned him the moniker "The Hero of Waterloo." On the right, Sir Colin Campbell, another major general, is portrayed with a calm and resolute expression. Campbell served as the commandant at Allied headquarters and, alongside the Duke of Wellington, was the only man on the general staff to survive the battle uninjured. His unyielding presence and strategic acumen were crucial to the Allied forces' ultimate victory. The Georgian-era setting of Apsley House in London, where the sketch was taken, adds an air of grandeur and historical significance to the image. The meeting between these two esteemed military figures, both scarred by the recent battle, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Battle of Waterloo and the indomitable spirit of those who fought in it.
