Note 71 — THE WATERLOO MEDAL.
Reading edition
In an interesting paper, entitled “Apsley House,” which appeared in the “Quarterly Review,” for March, 1853, descriptive of a visit to the late Duke’s residence, the writer thus alludes to this medal,—“His own Waterloo medal, engraved ‘Arthur, Duke of Wellington,’ and much worn by use, with the ring cobbled and mended by himself, is indeed a relic.”
