The Duke of Wellington = Anglo-Dutch Army (basically British but I think half or over half of it was comprised of Germans (from Hanover mostly) and the Dutch since there simply wasn't time to prepare an army in the 'hundred days campaign' leading to Waterloo. Basically, the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1814, the year before so many British soldiers had been demobilised from the army. Napoleon escaped from the island of Elba (where he was supposed to be in exile) and quickly regained his former title of Emperor plus amassing a huge army.
Napoleon = obviously French Army ('La Grande Armee')
and Prince Blucher = the Prussian Army ('Landwehr')
Don't ask me how I know the specific name for the Prussian Army, lol. I've just been reading a book about the Battle of Waterloo and just learnt that. XD
