EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, produced in London, depicts the Royal Horse Artillery Rocket Troop (J840006) during a review order in the Napoleonic era. The image captures the intricately detailed uniforms and equipment of the British soldiers, with a focus on the unique rocket launchers slung over their shoulders. In 1815, at the pivotal Battle of Waterloo, Major Whinyates' Rocket Troop played a significant role in the conflict, attached to the Cavalry Corps and armed with both rockets and cannon. The effectiveness of the rockets used by the Rocket Troop at Waterloo remains a subject of debate among historians. Some accounts suggest that the rockets caused panic and confusion among the French ranks, while others argue that their impact was minimal. Regardless, the use of these innovative weapons marked a turning point in military warfare and solidified the British army's reputation as a formidable force. The engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the soldiers who bravely fought in one of the most famous battles in history. The rockets, with their distinctive conical shape and long fuses, stand out in the image, symbolizing the technological advancements that shaped the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo and the Napoleonic Wars as a whole.
