WBritain 1/32 Fight in the Courtyard British Coldstream Guards Light Company Closing the Gates Set #1 (36006)


The desperate defence of the farmhouse at Hougemont by the Guards was the turning point of the battle of Waterloo, as the victorious Duke of Wellington readily acknowledged.The battle began at approximately 1130hrs.The French attacked the west of the farm where the open ground was held by the Third Guards. They were overwhelmed and forced to retire through the North Gate pursued by the French. Despite trying to shut the gate, between 50 and 100 Frenchmen forced their way through. These men were eventually all killed less one unarmed Drummer Boy who was spared. More Frenchmen were trying to force their way in and Lieutenant Colonel Macdonell called on three Coldstream officers to help him close the gates, they were joined by Cpl James Graham (later promoted to Sgt for his bravery) and his brother Joseph, also a Corporal, and four men from the Third Guards. Between them they managed to close the North Gate and secure it
