After the allied victory at the battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815, Scott travelled to Belgium in August, and was one of the first British civilians to visit the battlefield. Scott was hoping to recover his expenses by publishing an account of his travels (in the form of imaginary letters), published as "Paul's Letters to His Kinsfolk" (1816). The profits from Scott's poem about the battle were intended to go to a fund for widows and orphans of soldiers.
