You're correct there, It was King George III at the time though Prince George his son is the Prince Regent after the King became seriously ill with madness which lasted until he passed away in 1820 by which time Prince George became King George IV. So it should be "God Save the King" When Victoria became Queen in 1837, it changed to "God Save the Queen" which also sung in the present time while our Queen still reign. After she passed away it will become "God Save the King" when Charles became King.

@@tithofabian1967 The first part certainly isn't from the 1970 movie Waterloo - although that is an excellent film with lots going on! I'm not sure, but until 3:00 it's from a British drama set during the period, perhaps 'Vanity Fair'? Thereafter, are segments taken from Sharpe's Eagle and Sharpe's Waterloo, episodes from a superb series starring Sean Bean as Sharpe, despite it being filmed (excuse the pun) on a tight budget they were very enjoyable adventures set during the Peninsular War. If you're interested in other theatres of the Napoleonic Wars, the recent TV adaptation of 'War and Peace' is also well worth a look. I've only seen clips of it on KZitem, tried to record it on digital TV but something went wrong - so I might check it out on Amazon. Interestingly, Brian Cox (the actor, not the astronomer) plays one of the Russian generals, and years ago portrayed Hogan, Wellington's intelligence officer, in Sharpe.

It's so pleasant to see how accurate and perfectly clean all the uniforms were after days of marching in the mud, sleeping on wet ground, being splattered with additional mud by cannonballs hitting the soaked earth on this rainy day. And - this was the second battle after Quatre Bras with no time to clean the precious uniforms in between. Well done, soldiers. Captain Sobel would be proud of you. Joking apart, a good war movie always tries to look realistic. Even in the very first Star Wars film they deliberately made the uniforms and fighters look used, and that was one of the reasons why the illusion worked so well.

For me clean clothes are less ''bug'' then: when you survive cavalry charge with melee combat + canon bombardment you'r so happy(cheer) to ambush enemy best elite division, who as I read in the book when were ambushed didn't lie down weapons and surrender and all were killed. Of course most of these movies are kinda propaganda and were filmed similar as :"History are written by winners(when winners give enemy more troops or lessen themselves and look more brave)''

I think that this film is quite unrealistic. For example, the square formation is created with the affirmed knowledge that horses will not run at squares, no matter what they are told. Also, a french cavalaryman would not dismount his horse infront of a a regimental square. If you are looking for a Waterloo film, watch 'Waterloo' from 1970. Edit: Another thing I might add (after watching the clip again) is that there should not be any artillery fire on this side of the ridge, as the french artillery was on the other side of the valley, and the french cavalry had ridden over the ridge line.

Plus the cavalry rode around the squares and then fell back to reform. Certainly they would not charge the ranks of a square on foot with a heavy cavalry sabre like in this clip. There are accounts of the cavalry milling about firing pistols and carbines so that part is correct (especially as the horses were blown). They also have the British infantry mixed up. They are not the Guards by their facing colors and if they are supposed to be the 52nd light infantry that regiment wheeled on the flank of the Imperial Guard attack.

Generally they would not be in that formation if they were within artillery range. It was used since muskets had a limited range, misfired too often, and were very inaccurate so volley fire was used so at least you would hit some targets. Also, against cavalry it was useful as horses would rider around the square and not into it, no matter how hard they were driven, would not run into a sharp into something. Since cavalry troops were armed with sabers and lances, unless the rider could get within 2-3 feet (0.7-1.0 m), they would not hurt the foot soldier so it was a way to keep them away.

This clip is mostly from the film adaptation of the novel "Vanity Fair". Between 0:12 and 0:20 It looks like the 70's movie Waterloo (although it may be a modern renterpretation of the same shot, and certainly the music is "Vanity Fair".) Between 03:02 and 03:30, an episode of 90's tv series 'Sharpe' has been edited in to the battle, pretty seamlessly because it was essentially depicting the exact same event but with fewer extras. Frankly, "Vanity Fair" has done some really good work here. I had no idea such an impressive depiction of any part of the Battle of Waterloo had been made.

je ne crois pas que la vieille garde ait donné à waterloo, elle était assignée à la sécurité de l'empereur. C'est la garde qui est montée non en marchant mais au pas de course et qui a écrasé deux bataillons anglais avant d'être arrêtée principalement par les canons belges et un troisième groupe anglais. En 1815, la garde était la refonte de la moyenne garde et de la jeune garde car il y avait trop peu d'effectifs. cette charge devait être épaulée par la cavalerie, malgré les errances de Ney il en restait mais une fois de plus, les ordres n'ont pas du être transmis. Ce qui manquait le plus à l'armée Napoléonnienne, c'est ce qui avait fait sa grandeur, un service de transmission et de coordination

@@fredericmartin6994 Ney's cavalry had been smashed on the squares, that's why they couldn't support the attack. Also where they were really needed was screening the flank against the encroaching Prussians. The Dutch forces you mention broke up one section of the attack indeed. This brigade was relatively fresh and unused. However you haven't mentioned, the other sections which were broken up by just 1500 of Maitland's foot guards and then driven back by bayonet charge. The initial volley is said to have taken down 300 men and killed General Michel. The French were actually able to recover from both the above as fresh regiments came up to meet the British and Dutch, pushing the allies back. However a further charge from the 52nd Light Infantry led by John Colbourne threw the guard into a final retreat, and broader French units into a panic. Waterloo was a really desperate battle between two quickly put together armies, both lacking full cohesion in their own way. That's why you have such an uncoordinated to and fro such as above. However in my opinion Napoleon could never have won, Wellington had coordinated everything in advance, including the Prussians arrival and the site of the battle.

@@angloirishcad Wellington himself said that the fate of Waterloo was determined by the closing of doors. The light company of the 3rd Foot Guards held against endless battalions of French Young Guardsmen at Hougoumont and if they had not closed the doors to the farmhouse in time the French Guards would have taken the most strategic point in the battle. If I recall correctly a captain of the Foot Guards at this point in the fighting developed what we now know as combat PTSD when a French guardsman was shot in front of him by a corporal of the Guards whilst he was pushing the doors. He was never able to close doors for the rest of his life.

Napoleon, whose serenity in the midst of battles (except in his love "battles" with Josephine), was one of the greatest systematizers of the Science of War. And among the Principles of War that he established, the first was Security, then Maneuver and Joint Effort or Concurrent Means; That is why I will always wonder why, knowing that an English tactic against the Cavalry attack was the "Box Formation", he launched his Cavalry, with the brave Marshal Ney at the head, against the English. He had to advance his cannons and fire shrapnel grenades and then his large and brave Infantry to destroy the English at bayonet point. Something happened in that interdict. We will never know. However, we must recognize that the weather, with its black clouds, greatly helped the Prussians, with their dark uniforms. Be that as it may, Waterloo was a battle that Homer would very well have sung about, if he had seen or known about it. Hooray for the soldiers who fought on that epic day!!! And the splendid march "Victory is ours" (La Victoire est a Nous) remains in my memory.

I take it you arent aware of the fact Napoleon failed. He failed to take Hagenout and lost his pivot which he was relying on. Marshall Ney destroyed their cavalry in 20-30 disastrous cavalry charges. Napoleon didnt recognise the square formations until too late. He put in his old guard too late. It was a close run thing but the british and Dutch had bled the french dry before the prussians arrived. Napoleon's only victory was in regard to the destruction caused by his artillery

I have seen alot of re-enacted battles and books (but just not military books on formations from West Point let's say), but did any tactician ever researched into dispersal pattern of bullets (not just effective distance of >20m, or rate of fire in some battalions trained soldiers could do 3-4 rounds in a minute, less trained 2-3 rounds), or stopping power of group of bullets onto a group of solders charging at different maximum speeds (Cavalry/Infantry) to calculate the maximize the advantage of a particular group formation? Not talking about the combination with cannister shot cannons, just infantry formation. For ex., 5 lines deep, 1m apart, 1st row kneel- 2nd row stand, both fire, 2nd row kneel-3rd row fire, so on. Stand-ready-aim-fire can be done within 5-10 second pattern, therefore based on how professional trained the soldiers are at the rate of their fire, that's how many rows one need to repeat a non-stop fire before the first row would have their muskets loaded again and repeat. Also they should have the soldiers stand with one man apart, that way less bullets hit then if they stood next to each other, also conserve bullets if the attack came from a smaller force, form twice the length of a line, and if the attack came from a more concentrated force the first row and second row can stand staggered, just as third and fourth for repeated fire. Similar to other Sun Tzu formation tactics, I think that the European formations could have be more fluid and interchangeable depending on the condition. Could have changed a line into side by side triangles to form enfilade fire and a stronger point at the salient if the Calvary may break through parts of the lines. The square is too immobile and can only be slightly effective against a Cavalry charge (if they disperse and charge in all sides of the squares) and not an infantry line charge. Squares can be worn down by canon fire also. Form cavalry lines in front of the infantry, cavalry move forward at the same pace as the infantry lines behind, last minute charge and disperse sideways before the enemy's 20-40 m mark, infantry to charge to take advantage of the infantry line against squares, if enemy remain in squares, wear them down by infantry fire, if they lose cohesion the cavalry turn 90 degree and attack the wings of the collapsed squares or reforming of enemy lines. If the enemy was not baited to form infantry squares by lines, then the cavalry dispersal in the beginning and reforming at the enemy sides will also collapse it. This all depends on enemy cannon positions and their cavalry locations, movement of troops, etc.

For effective reloading, you pretty much need to stand up, so a continuous rolling fire is rather unlikely that way. Also, the chaos on the battlefield, makes it extremely risky to fire in the direction your troops are located. Some 18th C. armies tried to do 2 ranks firing volleys, with 1&2 kneeling, 3&4 standing. It was a complex and difficult operatio to get them close together to fire off the voley and then in an orderly fashion space out again to reload. The more or less universal standard was the 3 rank firing, which well trained troops managed reasonably well, but often, a 2 ranks firing, both standing was employed, sinco you can stretch out forces farther with a thinner line. It's all a give and take tradeoff. Not all ideas of earlier tactics, nor all of modern tactics, actually work that well when one tries to apply them to the early modern age with it's somewhat modern-ish guns but primitive-ish melee and cavalry. Also, Films usually tend to horribly ignore, gloss over or misrepresent musket-era battles and combat. There was a lot more complexity going on that simply moving a line or squares.

There were several days of heavy rain poured on Waterloo, even before the first shot was fired. Mud was reported to be up to the knee-level in some areas. Even Napoleon himself got stuck in the mud, and had to be pulled out by his personal guards. Yet the men appearing in the film wore uniforms freshly pressed and bright, as though they came straight out of the closet or dry-cleaner. Fun to watch, but full of inaccuracies.
