Footnote: William Bryant was born about 1794 at Nuneaton Winwick. At the age of 19, Bryant joined the Grenadier Guards at Deptford on December 2nd, 1813 and found himself on active service in Holland shortly thereafter. He was present at the storming of Bergen-op-Zoom and was wounded in the head and taken prisoner. He was soon released when hostilities ceased in April 1914. He was promoted to corporal in 1817 and sergeant in 1820. He was in no. 11 Company. Bryant was discharged on April 9th, 1833 due to a 'diseased state of the lungs.'

William Bryant is on the Waterloo Medal Roll under Lt. Colonel Banlay’s Company of the 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards.
