Stipple engraving by Page, published by J Davis, 1 Aug 1811.
Henry, Lord Paget commanded the 16th (or The Queen's) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons and the 7th (or the Queen's Own) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Hussars) in the Low Countries in the late 1790s. He commanded the cavalry of Sir John Moore's army in Spain and Portugal but from 1809 further service in the Peninsular War was ruled out by his elopement with the Duke of Wellington's sister-in-law.
In 1815, now the 2nd Earl of Uxbridge, Paget was given command of the British cavalry and horse artillery in Wellington's army. He lost his leg at Waterloo when it was shattered by a piece of shot which narrowly missed Wellington. Uxbridge was created Marquess of Anglesey for his services at Waterloo and became Field Marshal in 1846.); © National Army Museum
