Summary
| Description |
English: Monument erected in memory of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Alexander Gordon (1786–1815), aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington and mortally wounded at the very end of the victorious Battle of Waterloo, 18 June 1815. So deeply regretted was Alexander Gordon that when Wellington’s niece Lady Burghersh painted her uncle in 1839 absorbed by the Waterloo Dispatch, her picture alluded to Gordon lying dead on Wellington's bed. While Gordon’s body is not shown, in the image, we see two officers mourn him in the en-suite room : ►(File:18 June 1815 – Victory at Waterloo – The Waterloo Despatch.jpg). |
