| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Journal of the Waterloo campaign, vol. 1 (of 2): kept throughout the campaign…" is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work presents a detailed personal diary by General Cavalié Mercer, focusing on his experiences as commander of the 9th Brigade Royal Artillery during the pivotal Waterloo campaign of 1815. Rather than a strategic military overview, the journal offers firsthand observations, daily hardships, and immediate impressions of the campaign, making it particularly valuable for readers seeking an intimate, ground-level perspective on this significant historical event. The opening of the journal begins with a preface by Mercer's son, explaining the diary’s origins in nightly notes and outlining its focus—what Mercer saw and experienced himself from the troop’s mobilization in England to their landing in Belgium. The early chapters detail the urgency and confusion following Napoleon’s return from Elba, with vivid descriptions of preparations, the chaotic embarkation of troops and horses, and the challenging conditions upon landing at Ostend. Mercer recounts logistical struggles, inclement weather, interactions with locals, and first impressions of Belgian towns and countryside, painting a rich and lively picture of the opening phase of the campaign. Through these initial entries, the narrative immerses readers in the everyday realities and personal challenges faced by British artillerymen on the eve of a historic battle.
