[V]. The col.-in-chf. of this regt. was Charles, 4th Duke of Richmond, K.G., a gen. and gov. of Plymouth. He was present at Waterloo as a spectator, and although Wellington, his personal friend, implored him early in the day to retire to Brussels, the Duke did not beat a retreat until the battle was half over. He was accompanied by his son, Lord William Lennox (a boy of 15), a cornet in the Horse Guards, and extra A.D.C. to Gen. Maitland. By an unfortunate accident, a few days before the battle, Lord William fractured his right arm, and had the sight of one of his eyes destroyed, and although he left his sick bed at Brussels to proffer his services to Gen. Maitland, the latter felt himself obliged to decline them, so the disappointed youth followed his father and another brother to the field, en amateur. Gen. Mercer records in his Waterloo Journal how surprised he was to see “a fine, tall, upright old gentleman, in plain clothes, followed by two young ones, come across our front at a gallop, from the Brussels road, and press forward to so hot a fight.” This fine old veteran died from hydrophobia, while holding the appointment of Gov.-Gen. of Canada, 28th Aug., 1819.
[1]. Probably a son of Gen. Archibald Macalister, who for many years commanded this regt. D. at Axminster in Aug., 1869.
