Major General Sir Denis Pack was the commander of the 9th British Brigade at the Battle of Waterloo, which consisted of the 3/1st Royal Scots, 2/44th East Essex, 1/42nd Black Watch and the 1/92nd Gordon Highlanders. I was hoping to a more detailed account of his life and career but that will have to wait. Suffice to say, his brigade fought very hard during the battle, suffering heavy casualties so much so that they had to be ordered to halt when Wellington ordered the general advance after the defeat of the Guard. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures.
