Although the whole of French VII Corps were to hand only two Bavarian Divisions were engaged. The Austrians were a linking brigade between their III and V Corps. The Austrians mistakenly attacked the Bavarian /French formation and then hastily withdrew southeast in a shaken state.

Waterloo Battlefield Guide

David Buttery
From the outset this book delivered more than I was expecting. Not only was there a description of the many places relevant to the Waterloo story placed, of course, in their modern setting to make them easy to find; but there was also a narrative of the battle with the troop dispositions and timings as accurate as you will find anywhere else. The maps and illustrations are numerous and good servants to the text. I read the book before my visit to Belgium and, having now used it extensively while there, my advice to the would be visitor is read it before you go and don't go without it. Highly recommended.
