The French 1st Cavalry Division began a feint on the French right flank vs scatter Nassau troops in the vicinity of Papelotte.

On the French left flank, Reille begins to deploy guns for bombardment of Hougoumont Farm, while Jerome is ordered to attack the Nassau forces in the woods to his front. Wellington begins to bring forward forces to cover the northwestern side of the Farm.
Noon
D’Erlon deploys his and the Guard Artillery along the rise running to his front, and a duel between his and Picton’s batteries along their line erupts. An hour of bombardment causes little loss on both sides, although both armies guns slow in pace as fatigue sets in.
The Nassau troops fronting the Hougoumont rout, but not before inflicting significant losses on four regiments of Jerome and Foy.
