Abstract: Abstract On Sunday 18 June 1815, at the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon Bonaparte was decisively defeated by the Duke of Wellington and the forces of the “Seventh Coalition”, marking the end to his rule as French Emperor. Wellington is reported to have declared that the battle was “the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life” (to Thomas Creevey, see Maxwell 1903, p. 236). In 1965 Dr Jerry Koehl, a History Lecturer at Oxford, having resigned to take up a lucrative job in commercial television, ended his last lecture with the words: “And this is how Napoleon won the battle of Waterloo”.
