 | | At this time, the retreating the Prussians were being pursued by General Emmanuel de Grouchy, though the latter was unsuccessful in overtaking Blücher’s army. |
 | | Meanwhile, on the morning of June 18th, 1815, Wellington’s polyglot army of 67,000 Dutch-Belgians Nassauers, Hanoverians, Brunswickers and British was in a moderately strong position on a slight hill, a sunken road behind it and Le Château Hougoumont on the right. |
 | | Finally, in his reminiscences, Napoleon criticized General Grouchy’s failure to intercept the Prussians, Ney’s mistake of recalling D’Erlon’s corps and even when he himself erred in massing only 124,000 troops when he might easily have marshaled more by using the reserve troops. |
