Charles Roots was born in 1793 and enlisted on 14 August 1809. His name appears on the supplementary pay list for Waterloo showing the men entitled to extra pay for taking part in the battle. A note on the Waterloo medal roll states that Roots was ‘With Officers Baggage, marched with the Regt. 16th. ordered to the rear 17 June.’ Some of these parties were attacked and put up a fight in defence of their charge. If the officers paid for this medal it could well be in gratitude for these services. The Waterloo medal awarded to Roots was sold at Bonhams on 3 June 2015, when it made an appearance as one of the five Waterloo medals and 3 M.G.S. medals mounted in a silver Regimental punch bowl.
