WELLINGTONS MEN REMEMBERED. A Register of Memorials to Soldiers Who Fought in the Peninsular War and at Waterloo. The full and complete two volume, 2 DVD-ROM set.
I would highly recommend this work for anyone interested in chasing up biographical details of British officers (and some men from the ranks) who served under Wellington - the transcriptions of the gravestones includes details that are not available anywhere else, and solves many a puzzle that would otherwise be impossible to resolve. It is one of those books that, once it goes out of print, will probably be very hard to obtain. (And, like Tom, I've no connection with the authors or publisher).
I apologize that this might be considered advertising (though I'm not involved in any way), but I recall when this first came out and people were put off by the original price. Now they are practically giving it away. I think some people here would be interested.

That was my thinking.
