Been a while since I put up another Maudit segment, ta da!

Maudit Reflects the Spreading of the False News
Before the Middle Guard’s assault, Napoleon ordered the spreading of a false rumour across the army that Grouchy had arrived on the right flank, and that the gunfire that could be heard there was French not Prussian. This reinvigourated the troops, but soon after the Middle Guard’s withdrawal, the Prussian I Corps under Ziethen, which had been hidden behind the ridge on the Allied left since mid-afternoon, suddenly advanced towards Papelotte and began to spread across the field, this broke the French morale entirely as the troops realised that they were outflanked. Maudit reflects the spreading of the false news.

“Too often, one employs such means to support to some degree, the courage of the soldiers, but then it is necessary to be certain that the promised support arrives if you are not to be exposed to incalculable and disastrous consequences! Discouragement quickly follows useless efforts of failing courage during hours of fighting, crowned by deception! One should be sparing of such expedients, above all with the French, who are so easy to mislead!”

Here, Maudit recalls the aftermath of the failed attack of the Middle Guard
“These valiant and unhappy survivors retired, nevertheless, still in good order, but quivering with rage, to the foot of the slope; they had lost their numerical force, but not their courage!
There, they hoped to catch their breath and reform their platoons. Captain Minal still hoped to bring back the battalion of which he had taken command, but he was overwhelmed by the numbers that surrounded and fell on him…Of the 2,900 men who composed these six battalions that climbed the slope of la Haye Sainte, there hardly remained 700 that were fit to fight; about 2,200 had thus been killed or mutilated, for all the wounded were serious and all this in less than twenty minutes!”   

Maudit Recalls the Sacrifices of the 3e Grenadiers
Here Maudit describes the stand of the 2nd battalion 3e Grenadiers (they were formed towards Hougoumont) who became heavily bombarded by allied artillery. After this the allied infantry advanced with the cavalry.

“The balls, shells, and a little later, the caseshot, inflicted terrible losses. Nevertheless, it did not abandon its post; it only re-dressed its ranks as each salvo opened a gap, firing at hardly a quarter range, and soon 150 grenadiers out of 550 were struck down…
These three hundred heroes, for two hundred were dead or hors de combat, decided to try and rejoin their comrades and started to fall back. They served as protection and refuge for a multitude of wounded of all arms, because the grenadiers did not want to abandon their comrades-in-arms. This religious devotion was the cause of their destruction, that of the grenadiers as well as the wounded they protected…Not having enough men to remain in three ranks nor four sides, they formed in two ranks in a triangle whose point was directed at Rosomme. The grenadiers thus hoped to cross all the obstacles with the help of their courage and bayonets. But the ground was uneven; it was 9pm and almost night, the sky was dark.
At first the march was slow and tiresome, hindered by cuttings overgrown with beans or high corn. Many wounded were at the end of their strength, stumbling and tripping those who followed. The most mutilated were helped, each lending assistance to bring them out. But these problems got worse with each step. The enemy was too close not to be seen and to risk a fourth assault…The imperial triangle stopped and waited!”

Old Guard. There was no Middle guard in 1815

And if you insist on going by the old per-Restauration rules, then there wasn't an Old guard anyway. Not even the 1er.  :o

These are accounts so they must be pretty much true.
