Drummer of Waterloo
After a seeming victory in Waterloo, the British Army heard French drums beating, believing an attack was coming. They saw a drummer boy named Raoul and their marshal ordered his troops not to fire on him. Raoul told the soldiers that Napoleon himself gave him the drum.
During a battle against the British, Napoleon ordered Raoul to not stop beating the drum until a marshal of the army had ordered him to do so. The French attacked the British, who still remained powerful. The Old Guard arrived to reinforce their army, but were hit by a counterattack, causing a retreat. However, Raoul refused to stop playing his drum until instructed to do so. After being caught in an explosion, he dropped his drum on the ground.
In the final stages of the Battle of Waterloo, the British Army prepared to face Napoleon and his old guard. Before the British defeated the French, Raoul lost consciousness and when he woke up, he continued to play his drum until the marshal (of the British Army, rather than the French), the Duke of Wellington, ordered him to stop and gave him a medal and a salute.
