When Napoleon returned from Elba. Picton, at Wellington's request, accepted a high command in the Anglo-Dutch army. He was severely wounded at the "Battle of Quatre Bras" on 16 June, but concealed his wound and retained command of his troops.Two days later, while in command of the 5th Infantry Division he was shot through the temple by a musket ball, making him the highest ranking victim of the battle on the allied side. Since his luggage had not arrived in time, he had fought the battle wearing civilian clothes and Welsh folklore says that his top hat was shot off by a cannon-ball moments before his death, but this is not known to be backed by any historical source
