Note 10 — REGIMENTAL LISTS.

This officer had been taken prisoner during the preceding war, and been kept a prisoner for seven years at Verdun, in France. In the first charge made by the Life Guards at Waterloo, Lt. Story was in the act of raising his sword to cut down a French soldier, when the latter suddenly threw down his firelock and thus accosted him: “Monsieur, ne me tuez pas; je vous connois à Verdun; sauvez-moi la vie en grâce!” Story immediately recognised the speaker, and not only spared the French soldier’s life, but likewise that of his comrade—also from Verdun—and sent them as prisoners to the rear. In May, 1815, Story obtained permission from the Prince Regent to accept and wear the Russian Order of St. Vladimir of the 4th class. Retired about 1825, and d. at Maidenhead 20th Feb., 1828.
