contained in a small japanned and glazed display tin, with remains of typed paper label inscribed "Bullet from the wound of Captain Charles Dansey at the Battle of Waterloo". Charles Cornwallis Dansey (1787-1853) appointed to the 2nd Rocket Troop Royal Horse Artillery and fought at Waterloo under Captain Whinyates. On Captain Whinyates's Rocket Battery, Siborne writes "A party of horse artillery proceeded under Capt. Dansey along the Charleroi road, to the front of the centre of the Anglo-allied line, and came into action with rockets near the farm of La Haye Sainte, leaving its two guns in the rear under Lt. Wright. Capt. Dansey very soon received a severe wound which obliged him to retire; and the party, after firing a few rockets, fell back a little to where its horses were standing. It was then commanded by a sergeant (Daniel Dunnett), who, on perceiving the advance of the nearest French column towards the farm, dismounted his men as coolly and deliberately as if exercising on Woolwich Common, though without any support whatever, laid rockets on the ground, and discharged them in succession into the mass, every one of them appearing to take effect. The advance of the column was checked, and was not resumed until Dunnett, having expended all his rockets, retired with his party to rejoin the guns in rear."
