The Tyrant is Fallen! Congratulations on the Waterloo Medal!

​Sir. ​It is with the deepest admiration that I write to congratulate you on being awarded the prestigious British Waterloo Medal.

​News has reached our headquarters of your decisive Sieg (victory) on the fields of Belgium. While the Austrian Army marched towards the Rhine, we looked anxiously to the north, knowing that the fate of Europe rested on the shoulders of Your Grace's army. You did not falter.

​To wear the silver of Waterloo is to carry the proof that you stood firm against the fury of the Grande Armée and broke its back. You have earned not just a medal, but the Ewiger Dank (eternal gratitude) of every monarch in Europe.

​You have stopped the Usurpator (Usurper) once and for all. What we call the battle of "La Belle Alliance" and you call "Waterloo" shall forever be remembered as the day the nightmares ended.

​Drink deep tonight, Sir. You have earned your peace.

​Hoch der Eiserne Herzog! (Long live the Iron Duke!)
Hoch die Alliierten! (Long live the Allies!)

Colonel Letus, I congratulate you on your recognition.

Having a Highland Regiment behind you, means that there is no limit to the heights to which you can climb.
