The troops who Wellington described as "the scum of the earth" were the English soldiers. Not the KGL.

There were many battalions of the KGL, all of the active ones at the time were at Waterloo IIRC, deployed elsewhere in the Allied line. This is just about one of them. Another KGL battalion was massacred by French cavalry when it was advancing to cover the retreat of the one mentioned.
