June, 1815. The Coldstream Guards and the third guards are waiting impatiently to move into battle against Napoleon and his French army. Every day seems endless as the troops wait for orders.
When word is finally received, the path to glory is not quite what they were hoping for. Hours of marching during the day are followed by restless nights sleeping in the rain, dampening their spirits and weakening morale. When they eventually encounter the French in battle, a special command comes from Wellington himself, to Colonel James Macdonell of the Coldstream Guards: hold the chateau at Hougoumont and do not let the French pass.
What happens next is history.
