“The Prince Murat of the British Army.” This brilliant cavalry leader served with distinction in the early part of the war in the Pa. The way he handled the cavalry at Waterloo is a matter of history known to every Briton. Wounded in the right knee during the last charge; his right leg was amputated after the battle and buried under a tree. A board was afterwards affixed to this tree with this verse:—
“Here lies the Marquis of Anglesey’s leg;
Pray for the rest of his body, I beg.”
