Summary
Captain James Webber-Smith's Troop was placed in at least two different positions at Waterloo: to the north west of Hougoumont, firing down the pavé, the Nivelle Road, and then on the main ridge, alongside Bull and Ramsay. Personally, I suspect the lack of comment from Webber-Smith himself and the conflicting accounts (or at least timings) of others point to something unspoken - perhaps, that it was this troop of horse artillery that Augustus Frazer mentions retiring due to heavy French fire, and then having to be ordered back into position. Who knows?
