A Private of the 1st or Kings Dragoon Guards, 1812
From the National Army Museum who say
Aquatint by J C Stadler after Charles Hamilton Smith, 1812.
The 1st King's Dragoon Guards remained in Britain on garrison duties throughout the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the sole exception of the Waterloo campaign of 1815.
From Charles Hamilton Smith's 'Costumes of the Army of the British Empire, according to the last regulations 1812', published by Colnaghi and Company, 1812-1815.

Waterloo on the BBC
My sister sent me these links. She says:
I heard this recently. Lots of interesting detail. Napoleon's One Hundred Days.
And last night on BBC4 they showed the old War Walks episode on Waterloo which was fascinating.
