Not so long as you might think.
I met my Great Grandfather before he died. He talked about his farther who
remembered the "Black ships" sailing up the Thames with the soldiers returning from the
Crimean War.
One of those returning on the troop ships was his uncle*; an officer who had fought
the French at Waterloo.
*i.e. My Great, Great, Grandfather's Uncle.
