Summary

Description
English: This false leg belonged to Lord Uxbridge, commander-in-chief of the allied cavalry.

After receiving his wound, Lord Uxbridge was taken to his headquarters in the village of Waterloo, There, the remains of his leg were removed by surgeons, without antiseptic or anaesthetics.

Uxbridge used an articulated above-knee artificial leg invented by James Potts, with hinged knee and ankle and raising toes which became known as the Anglesey leg.

This I found really amazing that it was so well created way back then.
