Note 1 — PART IV. A FEW WATERLOO HEROES.

“The Enniskilleners charged in line when Marshall’s squadron dashed into the thickest of the enemy’s phalanx, and were cut off from the other troops of the regt. Marshall, while sabreing a cuirassier on his right, had his bridle-arm broken by a stroke from his enemy on his left, and had not proceeded much further when he was beset by another crowd of French cavalry and hurled from his horse by a lance which penetrated his side. While he was falling he received a heavy blow across the body, and another which broke his right thigh. He lay unconscious except when goaded into sensibility by the hoofs of the enemy’s horses passing over his mangled body. The ground afterwards becoming somewhat clear he espied a horse without any rider, towards which he crawled, and was about to mount, when a French trooper galloping up cut him down in the midst of his hopes, inflicting several severe wounds on his body. This part of the field being again occupied by the French, a French artilleryman made Marshall’s body a resting-place for his foot while he rammed his gun. For two days and three nights Marshall remained on the field with 19 lance and sabre wounds. On the regt. returning home he was discharged with 2s. per day. Resided at Belfast, where he was much respected. D. there, 28th Sept., 1825.”—Scots’ Magazine.
