John Pryke was based at Woolwich when he first enlisted, but there is no record of where he was before the battle of Waterloo. Napoleon escaped from Elba in Feb 1815, so it is likely that Pryke was moved to France as Napoleon rebuilt his army.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cottage is now renamed as LAUREL COTTAGE
Please pause the next slide by holding on the black dot to read John Pryke's account of the battle.
Unfortunately at the time of this presentation, we have not been able to find John's grave, if you have any information on where the grave might be, please let us know by contacting us at infor.bulmerhistory@gmail.com
