EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image showcases a Heavy Dragoon Carbine of the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons, discovered on the hallowed grounds of the Waterloo battlefield in 1815. The carbine, a flintlock weapon of the Pattern 1796 design, bears the inscription "Carabine of the 6th or Enniskillen Regiment of Dragoons" on its butt plate. This historic artifact offers a tangible connection to one of the most significant military engagements in European history – the Battle of Waterloo. The 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons, also known as the "Royal Dragoons," were a prominent regiment within the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Established in 1689, they saw action in various campaigns, including the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. This Heavy Dragoon Carbine, one of 190 supplied by Grice and Morris in 1800, is a testament to the regiment's storied past. The weapon's presence on the battlefield serves as a poignant reminder of the intense and pivotal conflict that unfolded in Belgium that fateful year. The Battle of Waterloo marked the final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte and signaled the end of the Napoleonic Wars. This historical artifact, with its intricate design and rich provenance, stands as a symbol of the courage and determination displayed by the soldiers of the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons and the British Army as a whole during this defining moment in history.
