Cpt Sir George Nicholls, Master of the Guard on St Helena

I have found letters sent to Cpt George Nicholls on St Helena, where he was part of the
guard for Napoleon following the Battle of Waterloo. I believe this is interesting, since
very little has been mentioned on biographies of him about his time on St Helena. This
will tie into wider discussions about Britain in the immediate aftermath of the wars
and the effects on the balance of power.
