APSLEY HOUSE, London. " Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey" (1768-1854) by Sir Thomas LAWRENCE (1769-1830). WM 1474-1948. Despite personal differences with the Duke of Wellington, in 1815 General Paget commanded the Cavalry Corps. He successfully covered the withdrawal of the Allies following the Battle of Quatre Bras. At the Battle of Waterloo he led a spectacular cavalry charge that turned back D Erlons Corps from their assault. One of the last cannon shots fired that day hit Paget in the right leg, necessitating its amputation. According to anecdote he was close to Wellington when he was hit, exclaiming, " By God, sir, I ve lost my leg!" To which Wellington replied, " By God, sir, so you have!"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854), painted by the renowned Sir Thomas Lawrence in 1815. The portrait, now housed at Apsley House in London (WM 1474-1948), immortalizes the British military leader who played a pivotal role in the momentous Battle of Waterloo. Despite personal differences with the Duke of Wellington, Anglesey commanded the Cavalry Corps during the campaign. Following the Battle of Quatre Bras, he successfully covered the Allied withdrawal. At the Battle of Waterloo, Anglesey led a breathtaking cavalry charge that thwarted D'Erlon's Corps from their assault. Tragically, one of the last cannon shots fired that day struck Anglesey in the right leg, necessitating its amputation. The anecdote recounts that Anglesey was near Wellington when he was hit, exclaiming, "By God, sir, I've lost my leg!" To which Wellington replied, "By God, sir, so you have!" This poignant exchange underscores the intensity and danger of the battlefield. Lawrence's masterful portrayal of Anglesey captures the essence of a brave and resilient military leader, whose legacy continues to be celebrated in British military history.
