In 1807 was appointed adj. to the artillery of the army which, under
Lord Cathcart, was employed in the attack on Copenhagen, and where he
commanded, throughout the siege, one of the principal batteries, which
went by the expressive name of the “Churchyard” battery. On his return
home was appointed 2nd capt. of Capt. Lefebure’s troop of horse
artillery (D troop), and in Feb., 1810, embarked for the Pa. The
_Camilla_, of 200 tons, having on board Capt. Whinyates, two officers,
and 36 horses, nearly foundered in the Bay of Biscay, and was at last
driven back to Cork, almost a wreck. This troop, arriving in the Pa.
by detachments, was prevented from taking the field for some time.
During the interval Whinyates served on the artillery staff, and was
present at the battle of Busaco. His troop took the field before the
battle of Albuera, where Whinyates commanded the half-troop which was
attached to the cavalry on the right. It was here that some of the
severest fighting took place. He was mentioned in public despatches
for his conduct in the brilliant attack and defeat of Lallemand’s
cavalry at Ribera, 24th July, 1812. Promoted 1st capt. in Jan., 1813,
which occasioned his return to England. At Waterloo he had three
horses shot under him, was struck by a round shot on the leg, and sev.
wnded. in the left arm towards the close of the day. Bt. maj., and a

Footnote 1:

Came of a military race. 2nd son of Gen. Mercer, R.E. Bn. 1783. Served
in South America in 1807–1808. His troop came in for the hottest part
of the battle on Waterloo Day, and suffered considerably in loss of
men and horses. Sir George Wood, R.A., paid the battery a visit on
that memorable afternoon, and was surprised to find so many cannon
balls whizzing round his ears. “D——n it, Mercer,” he exclaimed, “you
seem to be having a hot time of it here.” Hot it was for all parties
concerned, but the gallant way in which the gunners worked their guns
kept the French cavalry from reaching the infantry squares behind
Mercer’s battery. In after years Gen. Mercer published his _Journal of
the Waterloo Campaign_, which is a delightful book in every respect.
Attained the rank of gen. and col.-comdt., and d. at Cowley Cottage,
Exeter, 9th Nov., 1868.

_Gentleman’s Magazine_ soon after his lamented death. He left issue by
his marriage with Charlotte, dau. of Thos. Fowler, of Gunton Hall,
Suffolk.

Hall, co. York and d. s. p. 14th Oct., 1842.

Footnote 5:

The following anecdote is taken from Gen. Mercer’s _Waterloo Journal_:
“Lt. Breton, who had already lost two horses and had mounted a troop
horse, was conversing with me during a leisure moment. As his horse
stood at right angles to mine, the poor jaded animal dozingly rested
his muzzle on my thigh; whilst I, the better to hear amidst the
infernal din, leant forward, resting my arm between his ears. In this
attitude a cannon ball smashed the horse’s head to atoms, and the
headless trunk sank to the ground!” Retd. on h. p. 1st Oct., 1820, and
d. at Lyndhurst, 17th March, 1852.

[5] Wm. L. Robe, K. 28 June, 1808 │

Footnote 1:

This officer’s name has been immortalised by Napier in his _Peninsular
War_. He came of a Scottish family, and was the eldest of three sons
of a retired naval officer who resided in Edinburgh. He was the pride
and glory of the branch of the army to which he belonged, and the
beau-ideal of what a Horse Artilleryman should be. He served with
great credit in Maj. Bull’s troop of R.H.A., in the Pa., from 1811 to
1813. It was in the campaign of 1811 that he performed the brilliant
action which Napier’s facile pen has so strikingly illustrated. This
happened on 5th May, 1811, when, the British cavalry out-guards being
far outnumbered near Fuentes d’Onor, were driven in upon their
supports, and Capt. Ramsay found himself cut off. It is a matter of
history how Ramsay, at the head of his battery, charged like a
whirlwind through the French squadrons who intervened between his
handful of men and the British troops, and rejoined the latter in
safety when given up for lost. And at the battle of Vittoria, Ramsay
again distinguished himself, but, by an unfortunate act of
disobedience to Wellington’s orders, he incurred the Iron Duke’s iron
displeasure. The story has been told as follows by a well-known
author, and differs somewhat from the account given by Col. Duncan in
his _History of the Royal Artillery_:—“I remember hearing a striking
instance of what, perhaps, might be called severe justice, which he
exercised on a young and distinguished officer of artillery in Spain;
and though one cannot help pitying the case of the gallant young
fellow who was the sacrifice, yet the question of strict duty, to the
very word, was set at rest for ever under the Duke’s command, and it
saved much after trouble, by making every officer satisfied, however
fiery his courage or tender his sense of being suspected of the white
feather, that implicit obedience was the course he must pursue. The
case was this: The army was going into action. The Duke posted an
officer, with his six guns, at a certain point, telling him to remain
there until he had orders from him. Away went the rest of the army,
and the officer was left doing nothing at all, which he didn’t like;
for he was one of those high-blooded gentlemen who are never so happy
as when they are making other people miserable, and he was longing for
the head of a French column to be hammering away at. In half an hour
or so he heard the distant sound of action, and it approached nearer
and nearer, until he heard it close beside him; and he wondered rather
that he was not invited to take a share in it, when, pat to his
thought, up came an aide-de-camp at full speed, telling him that Gen.
Somebody ordered him to bring up his guns. The officer asked, ‘Did not
the order come from Lord Wellington?’ The aide-de-camp said ‘No,’ but
from the gen., whoever he was. The officer explained that he was
placed there by Lord Wellington, under command not to move unless by
an order from himself. The aide-de-camp stated that the general’s
entire brigade was being driven in, and must be annihilated without
the aid of the guns, and asked, ‘Would he let a whole brigade be
slaughtered?’ in a tone which wounded the young soldier’s pride,
savouring, as he thought it did, of an imputation on his courage. He
immediately ordered his guns to move, and joined battle with the
general; but while he was away an aide-de-camp from Lord Wellington
rode up to where the guns had been posted, and, of course, no gun was
to be had for the service which Lord Wellington required. Well, the
French were repulsed, as it happened; but the want of those six guns
seriously marred a pre-concerted movement of the Duke’s, and the
officer in command of them was immediately put in arrest. Almost every
general officer in the army endeavoured to get this sentence revoked,
lamenting the fate of a gallant fellow being sent away for a slight
error in judgment while the army was in full action; but Lord
Wellington was inexorable, saying he must make an example to secure
himself in the perfect obedience of officers to their orders, and it
had the effect.”—Mr. Lover’s _Handy Andy_. To a man of Norman Ramsay’s
highly honourable and sensitive nature the circumstances of his
arrest, coupled with the omission of his name from the Vittoria
despatches, and the loss of a brevet he had well earned, may be said
to have inflicted a wound which neither time nor subsequent honours
could heal. Three weeks after his arrest he was restored to the
command of his battery, to the great joy of the whole army in Spain,
and after the battle of the Bidassoa he was promoted bt. maj. At
Waterloo he commanded the H Troop R.H.A., and his forward gallantry in
that battle attracted the fatal bullet which put an end to his noble
life. He was buried on the field by his great friend Sir Augustus
Frazer, during a momentary lull in the battle, but three weeks later
was disinterred and his body sent to Edinburgh, as the only
consolation to his aged father, half-demented with grief, who was
fated to lose his three gallant sons in the short space of eight
months. Norman Ramsay m., 14th June, 1808, Mary Emilia, eldest dau. of
Lt.-Gen. MacLeod, of Macleod. Sir Augustus Frazer erected a monument
to Ramsay’s memory on the field of Waterloo. The hero’s remains were
subsequently interred in Inveresk Churchyard.

services at Prescott, in Upper Canada, in Nov., 1838, received the
thanks of the lt.-gov. and a bt. lt.-colonelcy. The Editor is indebted
to this officer’s son, the late Col. Forbes Macbean, formerly comg.
92nd Highlanders, Sergt.-at-Arms to Her late Majesty, for the
following interesting particulars regarding his family: “My
great-great-grandfather was minister of the High Church (Presbyterian)
at Inverness for upwards of forty years. One of his sons (Forbes) was
a maj.-gen. of R.A.; two of his sons were—one (Frederick) col.-comg.
6th Foot, the other maj. of the 14th and 71st Regts. The eldest had
six sons, all in the army, viz.: Sir William, K.C.B. and K.T.S., gen.
and col.-in-chf. 92nd Highlanders; Frederick, K.H., col. 84th Regt.;
Forbes, col. R.A.; Archibald, lt.-gen. R.A.; Alfred, capt. 93rd
Highlanders; Alexander, lt. 83rd Regt. The last two died young. When
their father took the youngest to the Duke of York, C.-in-C., to ask
for a commission for him, the duke replied, ‘Yes, and if you had six
more sons they should all have commissions.’ In the retreat on
Corunna, my uncle Archibald, then in the Horse Artillery, picked up
his brother Frederick off the roadside, very seriously wounded, and
carried him on a gun-carriage into Corunna, and so saved his life.”
Forbes Macbean attained the rank of bt. col., and d. (on f. p. retd.

Footnote 2:

Wellington’s friend and physician for many years. “AFTER
WATERLOO.—After the battle Wellington rode to Brussels, and the first
person who entered his room on the morning of the 19th was Dr. Hume.
‘He had, as usual,’ says the doctor, ‘taken off his clothes, but his
face was covered with the dust and sweat of the previous day. He
extended his hand to me, which I held in mine while I told him of
Alexander Gordon’s death. He was much affected. I felt his tears
dropping fast upon my hand, and, looking towards him, saw them chasing
one another in a stream over his dusty cheeks. He brushed them
suddenly away with his left hand, and said to me, in a voice tremulous
with emotion—“Well, thank God, I don’t know what it is to lose a
battle, but certainly nothing can be more painful than to gain one
with the loss of so many of one’s friends.”’”—_Fifty Years’
Biographical Reminiscences_, by Lord William Lennox.

COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.[U]

Footnote U:

The Commissariat officers who served at Waterloo were not granted the
Waterloo medal, and none of them ever appeared in any _Army List_ with
the glorious “W” before their names, although, in after years, those
who had served in the Pa. had the “P” before their names in the _Army
Lists_, and they recd. the Par. medal in 1848. It is, therefore,
impossible, to give any correct list of officers belonging to the
above department, but the Editor gives the names of six officers who
were undoubtedly at Waterloo.

Footnote 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.
