Lieutenant Mike Rea
8. Linien Bataillon (Königlich-Deutsche Legion)
2. Brigade der Königlich-Deutsche Legion
Königlich-Deutsche Legion (KGL) (King's German Legion - KGL)
II (Anglo-German) Corps

Awarded to AAA Hanoverian & KGL officers upon a victory in the full Battle of Ligny, Quatre Bras or Waterloo 16-18th June 1815.


Note: Only about 35% of the current officers in Anglo-Allied Army (AAA) have been awarded the Waterloo Medal. Furthermore Mike is only the 5th Hanoverian/KGL officer to be awarded the Hanover Waterloo Medal, which is specific to officers commanding Hanoverian & King's German Legion units.


I have ordered the playing of the "Marsch des II. Btl. Kurhannoversches 2. Infanterie Regiment" in honor of this fine officer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC9R_AAqxmk

Given under Hand and Seal, this 22nd day of July of the current year at Brussels,

Two more medals for the up and coming Lieutenant Rea,

Well done Sir. Would you care to share a table and enjoy some fine French wine to celebrate your good fortune?

I salute your double achievement.
