The Brussels cemetery at Evere
The British monument
The idea of regrouping the tombs of the British officers killed in 1815
campaign was for the first time launched 18611,
unsuccessfully, and again in 1882. On 26 June 1882, the Brussels Major
Buls
makes a proposal of providing a concession to bury the British officers of the Waterloo campaign, buried
until then in many different places. * The City Council later
approves this proposal and a concession of 30 square meters is provided for
the erection of a monument to the officers and NCO's buried in the old cemeteries
of Brussels, Saint-Gilles, Waterloo, as well as at Mont-Saint-Jean, Hougoumont
and Quatre Bras. In 1888, the British decide to build a prestigious monument.
The subscription launched for that purpose bears the name "FUND FOR
REINTERRING AND ERECTING A MONUMENT OVER THE REMAINS OF THE BRITISH OFFICERS
AND MEN WHO FELL DURING THE WATERLOO CAMPAIGN"*.
The project is entrusted to the Belgian artist Jacques de Lalaing. The monument
is officially unveiled on the 26th of August 1890 and the remains are
transferred from 1890 until 1894.
Britannia dominates the monument.
MORTUORUM
PATRIA MEMOR
Two superb lions guard the monuments (while the third is sleeping !)*
Some details of the trophies ... One can only see pieces of British equipment, so these are not exactly trophies. French-British relations had improved, so probably it wasn't a good idea to show captured eagles...
Colonel de Lancey's tombstone was placed in front of the monuments. This stone came from the Quartier-Léopold Cemetery.

|
At the entrance of the crypt, two shields were placed, bearing the names of most British regiments who participated in the battle of Waterloo. One of the sheets has a some kind of head of a gorgon.

In Memory
& Men who
fell during the Waterloo Campaign in 1815
|
Let us follow this Old Guard Grenadier paying homage to his former enemies...
The crypt has 16 niches, one of them empty. Two niches contain two corpses,
so there are 17 corpses in all. Of these 17 soldiers, 4 where killed at Quatre-Bras (Grose,
Hay, Brown, Barrington). Twelve were killed or mortally wounded at Waterloo.
Only one, Cotton, died long after the battle, in 1849.
Eight corpses came from the Quartier-Léopold Cemetery (Cromie, Stothert,
Milnes, de Lancey, Lloyd, McLaine, Clyde and Spearman), 2 from Saint-Gilles
(Gordon and Forbes), 4 from Quatre-Bras (Grose, Hay, Brown and Forbes), where
they were buried on the edge of Boussu Wood, 2 from Hougoumont (Blackman
and Cotton) and 1 (Stables) from a garden in Waterloo.2a+b
Apparently, those buried in the cemetery of Waterloo (Ellis) or elsewhere (Fitzgerald, Heyland)
where forgotten, or left in place because one thought that they were safe.
Unfortunately, because of that, they were lost!
One important precision: the Quartier-Léopold Cemetery (also called the
cemetery of the Protestant church of Saint-Josse or cemetery of the Four
Parishes (cimetière des Quatre Paroisses) never was located at the place of
the present Quartier-Léopold station, but to the left of the chaussée de Louvain,
before arriving at the place Meiser ! It is also there that the little Joséphine
Napoléone de Montholon (probably Napoleon's last illegitimate child)
was buried. Thanks to M. Claude Van Hoorebeeck for all these precisions.

of French Huguenots. His life is well known, for that reason, we shall not go
into further details here. Some interesting information
here.
He was at the side of the Duke of Wellington when he was mortally wounded. The
Duke told the following story :
"De Lancey was with me, and speaking to me when he was struck. We were on a point of land that overlooked the plain. I had just been warned off by some soldiers (but as I saw well from it, and two divisions were engaging below, I said "Never mind"), when a ball came bounding along en ricochet, as it is called, and, striking him on the back, sent him many yards over the head of his horse. He fell on his face, and bounded upwards and fell again. All the staff dismounted and ran to him, and when I came up he said, "Pray tell them to leave me and let me die in peace". I had him conveyed to the rear, and two days after, on my return from Brussels, I saw him in a barn, and he spoke with such strength that I said (for I had reported him killed), "Why! De Lancey, you will have the advantage of Sir Condy in ‘Castle Rackrent’—you will know what your friends said of you after you were dead". "I hope I shall", he replied. Poor fellow! We knew each other ever since we were boys. But I had no time to be sorry. I went on with the army, and never saw him again."
