Note 5 — REGIMENTAL LISTS.

2nd son of Arthur, 1st Visct. Gosford, by Millicent, dau. of Lt.-gen. Edward Pole. Col. Acheson was ordered to defend a certain part of the wood at Hougomont on Waterloo Day. “The enemy made a tremendous attack, and, at the first charge, the colonel’s horse was shot dead. He fell under his horse, and was considerably stunned by the fall, in which situation he must have lain some time, as the enemy had passed and repassed, regarding him as dead. When he had recovered he found himself a prisoner by the weight of his horse. He extricated himself with difficulty by drawing his leg out of his boot.” D. unm. 24th July, 1828.
