Footnote 1:

Aftds. Maj.-Gen. Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby, K.C.B. and K.M.T.,
Gov. of Malta. 2nd son of Frederick, 3rd Earl of Bessborough, by Lady
Henrietta, 2nd dau. of 1st Earl Spencer. Bn. 6th July, 1783. Cornet
10th Lt. Dgns. 1800. Maj. 23rd Lt. Dgns. 1807. At head of this regt.
distinguished himself at Talavera, in 1809. Lt.-col. of the regt.
1810. At Barossa, with a squadron of German dragoons, he charged the
French cavalry covering the retreat, overthrew them, and took two
guns. Lt.-Col. 12th Lt. Dgns. 1811. Again signally distinguished
himself at the battles of Salamanca and Vittoria. His experiences at
Waterloo were almost unique, as when lying grievously wnded. on the
field, after a most gallant charge, in the French lines, a lancer who
was passing by and saw Ponsonby move, exclaimed: “_Tu n’est pas mort,
coquin_,” and struck his lance through the English officer’s back. “My
head dropped” (wrote Ponsonby in his subsequent narrative of his
experiences), “the blood gushed into my mouth, a difficulty of
breathing came on, and I thought all was over.” But the bitterness of
death was not yet past. Soon after, a tirailleur came up and roughly
searched him all over, robbing Ponsonby of what money he had about
him. He was hardly quit of this scoundrel before another appeared with
the same intent. At last a good Samaritan appeared in the shape of a
French officer, who administered brandy to the apparently dying
Englishman, and then passed on “to pursue the retreating British”!
What followed is best given in Ponsonby’s own words: “Presently
another tirailleur appeared, who came and knelt and fired over me,
loading and firing many times, and conversing with great gaiety all
the while. At last he ran off.” The evening came, and with it the
Prussians. “Two squadrons of Prussian cavalry, both of them two deep,
passed over me in full trot, lifting me from the ground and tumbling
me about cruelly. A German soldier, bent on plunder, came and pulled
me about roughly before he left me.” An English private next appeared,
and on Ponsonby telling him who he was, the soldier picked up a sword
and stood sentry over him. Next morning Ponsonby was removed in a cart
to a farmhouse, and laid in a bed from which poor Sir A. Gordon had
just been carried out dead. Col. Ponsonby had received seven wounds; a
surgeon slept in his room, and he was saved by continual bleeding—120
ounces in two days, besides the great loss of blood on the
field.—_Narrative._ M., 1825, Emily, youngest dau. of 3rd Earl
Bathurst, and had issue. D. 11th Jan., 1837.

Footnote 1:

Col. Patrick Doherty belonged to a good old Irish family which has
done good service to its country, both in the army and on the judicial
bench. In the two great wars in which Great Britain played a leading
part during the 19th century, the 13th Regt. of Lt. Dgns. (Hussars)
has been commanded by a Doherty; and three generations of this family
have been closely associated with this same regt. In 1796 Patrick
Doherty embarked for the West Indies with his regt. on active service.
It is on record that no less than twenty-two officers of the 13th Lt.
Dgns. fell victims to “Yellow Jack” when serving in St. Domingo; and
the skeleton of the regt., with two or three surviving officers,
returned to England. This fatality brought rapid promotion to Doherty,
and in 1813 he succeeded to the command of the 13th. For his services
in the Pa. he was made bt.-col. The editor of the _Military Calendar_
states that on Waterloo Day Col. Doherty was lying ill at Brussels,
suffering from a most severe attack of West Indian fever and ague; but
as it is probable that he took part in the operations of the 16th or
17th June, it does not debar him from being added to the roll of
Waterloo officers. He undoubtedly received the medal for Waterloo, as
well as the C.B. in 1816. Col. Doherty was subsequently made K.C.H.
Quitted the service in Dec., 1818, and d. at Bath, 20th Jan., 1837. He
was uncle to John Doherty, of Dublin, who held the high post of Chief
Justice of Ireland, and dying, in 1850, left, with other male issue,
the present Maj. H. Doherty, of the Artillery Militia, who formerly
commanded a troop in the 3rd Hussars.

Footnote 2:

Made C.B. for Waterloo. Served in the Pa. 2nd son of Samuel Boyse, of
Barrow, New Ross, co. Wexford, by Dorothea, dau. of Shapland Carew, of
Castleboro, same county. D., unm., 1833.

Footnote 3:

There were three of this family in the regt. in 1815. Brook Lawrence
served thirty-eight years in this regt., and was made bt.-lt.-col. for
Waterloo. He d. at Brompton 11th Aug., 1823, aged 59.

Son of Col. P. Doherty. Promoted maj. in this regt. 8th Dec., 1818. D.

Footnote 5:

at Waterloo was wounded in the ankle, which troubled him ever

Served in the Pa. with 16th Lt. Dgns. In 1831, as maj. of the 14th Lt.

were not suppressed until many of the ringleaders and their followers
had perished, some being cut down by the cavalry when charging through
the streets, but by far the greater number being burnt to death, when
intoxicated, in the conflagration that devastated part of the city.
Before the arrival of the squadron of the 14th Lt. Dgns. at Bristol
the only available military force was a troop of the 3rd Dgn. Gds.,
which was ordered to protect the city gaol. The captain of this troop
remained in his quarters, and allowed a cornet of only sixteen months’
service to command the troop on this special service. It is recorded
of this young officer, Cornet Charles Kelson, that when riding with
his troop through the slums of Bristol a burly blacksmith rushed out
of his shop, sledge-hammer in hand, and aimed a blow at the officer’s
head. As the smith bent his head with the weight of the hammer the
subaltern’s sword flashed through the air, and the Goliath’s head
rolled on the ground. Beckwith was a K.H., and at his death a Gen. and
Col.-in-Chf. 14th Hussars. He m., 5th April, 1821, Priscilla Maria,
