Magdalene De Lancey

Lady De Lancey (1793-1822) was a courageous and compassionate woman who documented her harrowing experience during the Battle of Waterloo in her narrative. Her account of nursing her husband, Colonel Sir William Howe De Lancey, provides a glimpse into the emotional turmoil and resilience displayed during times of war. Lady De Lancey's narrative, edited by Major B.R. Ward, stands as a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of tragedy and loss.
