A MEDAL awarded to a man who survived being severely wounded during the Battle of Waterloo will go under the hammer next week. The Waterloo Medal was awarded to Sergeant William Porteous, Royal Scots Greys, following his efforts in the battle in 1815. William was “severely wounded” with eight lance wounds in different parts of the body. His Commanding Officer would later describe William, who was born in Stenton, as “a worthy, good man, dreadfully wounded at Waterloo”. The Waterloo Medal will be up for auction on Wednesday through London-based auctioneers Dix Noonan Webb. William enlisted at the age of 17 on April 22, 1794.
