This is interesting. Do you have a James Fazackerley that might match this fellow?

Yes, 1815. (date of battle)
A quartermaster would be older than the usual cannon-fodder I think. Maybe born 1775-1785. Somewhere about there.
His regiment generally gives no clue as to his place of birth, though in those days they weren't conscripted so he would have had to volunteer at the barracks.

Also: from D. N. Cripps and K. L. Fazakerley Cripps:
Michael Fazackerley, b. abt. 1781, parents: John & Elizabeth of Liverpool;
Michaels father's occupation was Copper Smelter; Michael was a Soldier and
Blacksmith;
"Michael was a Farrier in the army at the Battle of
Waterloo--" "Afterwards many of the soldiers & their
wives were sent to France to maintain Law & Order. (Michael & Martha's
son, Thomas was born in France, 1818)
Additional facts about Michael: "Michael supposedly had a brother who owned
a ship yard on the Clyde River." "Michael & Martha left England in
the LEVENA on 10 June 1832, arriving Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) 10 November
1832."
