"A Week at Waterloo in 1815" by Lady Magdalene De Lancey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative recounts the personal experiences of Lady De Lancey as she nurses her husband, Colonel Sir William Howe De Lancey, Quartermaster-General of the Army, who is mortally wounded during the Battle of Waterloo. It offers a poignant glimpse into the realities of war through the lens of love and loss, focusing on Lady De Lancey’s emotional and physical struggles amid the chaos of battle. At the start of the narrative, Lady De Lancey describes her arrival in Brussels shortly before the onset of the campaign, capturing the initial peace and happiness of her married life with her husband. She recounts their idyllic days together, filled with love and optimism, unaware that their tranquility would soon be shattered by the impending battle. As tensions heighten and Sir William prepares for action, she reflects on the impending separation and offers insights into her fears and resilience as the conflict begins. The opening sets a tender yet foreboding tone, highlighting the fragility of happiness in the face of war and the deep bond between the couple that becomes central to the narrative as events unfold.
