“Hanging the Brick”
Each year, as part of our Christmas celebrations, we honour our Regiment’s heroic role at the Battle of Waterloo where in securing the gates at Hougoumont Farm and holding that vital ground against the French we set the conditions for victory.
Two Coldstreamers in particular were singled out for praise: Lt Col James Macdonnel who had overall command of the infantry defending Hougoumont and led the vital closing of the gates, with his sergeant, James Graham.
Sources differ on which man Wellington famously described as "the bravest man in the British Army", today the officers’ and sergeants’ messes fight it out over sporting events…
A timeless way to celebrate bravery and camaraderie!
