 ations at the University of Cambridge. Today he tells the story of how the
  Second Light Battalion of the King's German Legion held off Napoleon at W
 aterloo long enough to give the Prussians time to come up. He begins with 
 an account of the origins of this Anglo-German hybrid\, moves on to a desc
 ription of the dramatic events of 18 June 1815\, and concludes with a disc
 ussion of their legacy today.
