Baron von Müffling was a prominent figure during the campaign of 1815, as a former Quarter-Master General of the Prussian army of Silesia in 1813-1814, he was appointed to be the Prussian Liaison officer with the Anglo-Dutch army under the Duke of Wellington. Privy to all the details current at the allied headquarters, and present on the field of battle Müffling was well placed to write an account of the campaign which was originally in his native German, although short is of enduring interest.
It is set with vivid details and unlike staff-officers of later years his place on the battlefield at the Duke’s side was one of grave danger as the Anglo-Dutch army struggled to hold on to the ridge at Waterloo. His own action at the battle was indeed decisive, in two incidents, the first in directing the Prussian reinforcements to the right of the hard-pressed allied line, and secondly in bringing up two British cavalry brigades to take part in the final assault on the French lines. He was appointed the Governor of Paris, a particularly tricky job given the recent struggles and the large numbers of armed men roaming the city, which he dispatched with aplomb. Müffling would go on to many important postings in the Prussian army, and even as an international mediator.
