Wellington did not hear of the capture of Charleroi until 15:00, because a message from Wellington's intelligence chief, Colquhoun Grant, was delayed by General Dörnberg.
Wellington ei kuulnud Charleroi vallutamisest midagi kuni kella 3-ni pärastlõunal, kuna teade Wellingtoni luureülemalt Colquhoun Grantilt hilines kindral Dörnbergi tõttu.
