Thomas Wedgwood (also recorded as Wedgewood) was born in 1797, the grandson of the master potter Josiah Wedgwood, and was commissioned Ensign in the 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards in 11 January 1814. He served in Lieutenant-Colonel Canning’s Company during the Waterloo Campaign, 16-18 June 1815, and survived the Battle of Waterloo having spent the day fighting at the Hougoumont farm house. He was promoted Lieutenant and Captain on 28 December 1820, and to Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel on 31 December 1830. A letter written by Wedgwood to his mother the day after the battle survives in the Wedgwood Museum Collection. He died in 1860.
