The General has been to a meeting about the St Paul’s Service and asked if I ever came across Captain Mercer who commanded G Troop of the Royal Artillery.  Sadly I didn’t as I am not sure he was at Quatre Bras.  He wrote a extensive journal on Waterloo and a piece is to be read in St Paul’s but the General wants a descendant to read it.   Does anybody know of a descendant of this great man who rose to be another General (I don’t really like Generals!!) Any descendant would need to bear his name. Let’s get twittering.

If you are a descendant of Captain Mercer who fought at Waterloo, Waterloo 200 would very much like to hear from you. Please use the contact form at the bottom of the page to get in touch.
