"The British Royal Waggon Train was a Formation of The British Army and formed in 1794 – in support against The French Revolutionary Wars (a part of The Napoleonic Conflicts in Europe). The primary Mission of The ''Train'' was to provide transport of war materials to The British Army in The Field – during time of War. Some 2,000 Officers and Men were ultimately assigned to The Train. During a 300-mile retreat during The Peninsular Campaign of 1809, The Train assisted in the movement of thousands of British wounded and surviving war materials back to England. The Train was awarded with Citation for this act. Later as The Battle of Waterloo (1815), their tireless effort at moving supplies under fire, were a major contributing factor to The British and Allied Victories there. The Train helped evacuate over 4,000 British wounded from the battle."
