    "The militiamen of Waterloo in those days were big men in every way. Capt. Barbour, of the Crosshill Company, was over 6 feet 5 inches, and his right hand man stood over 6 feet 6 inches, while the Bugle-Major, Geo. Oakley, at one time a gunner in the Royal Artillery, was so stout that it was said he had to have a rifle sling sewn to his belt to encompass his aldermanic breadbasket."
