The first French Eagle captured during the Napoleonic Wars was taken by the 85th Regiment of Foot (the King's Light Dragoons) at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. However, the first recorded capture occurred earlier at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801, when British forces, led by General Sir Ralph Abercromby, seized an eagle from the French 32nd Regiment of Infantry. This act became a significant symbol of victory for the British forces during the campaigns against Napoleon.
