Talk:8th Cavalry Brigade (United Kingdom)

Battle of Waterloo edit

I am removing all the stuff relating to the Battle of Waterloo because

1. Uncited
2. Article claims the Brigade was formed on 18 August 1815 - which is a pity as Waterloo was on 18 June 1815. Sigh.
3. I can find no evidence that the Brigade was at Waterloo (e.g. Digby Smith, Philip J Haythornethwaite, Ian Sumner, David Hamilton-Williams, etc, etc).
4. None of the regiments listed (2nd Dragoon Guards, 3rd Dragoon Guards, 3rd Dragoons) claim Waterloo as a Battle Honour. Inconceivable if they were really there.
