Footnote 2:
The name of Dorville has only been known in England for a little over
a century; but it is that of a well-known Norman family which
flourished for six hundred years in France prior to its exodus from
France to North Germany, for religious causes, early in the 17th
century. From Germany the “d’Orvilles” migrated to Holland, where the
family left its mark in the person of the learned James Philip
Dorville, professor of history and languages to a Dutch university,
and likewise a Sicilian explorer, whose valuable book on Sicily (with
rare illustrations), written in the purest Latin, is treasured, with
other Dorville books, in the Bodleian Library. The professor’s son,
John Dorville, quitted Holland and settled in England. He bought the
Ravenscourt Estate at Fulham. M. Anne Gibson (grand-daughter of Edmund
Gibson, Bishop of London), and had three sons, the two younger of whom
were Philip and Thomas, both of whom entered the army and did good
service in the Par. War—the former being for some time on Lord
Anglesey’s staff, and the latter in the 1st Foot Guards. At Waterloo
Col. Dorville commanded the two squadrons of the 1st Dgns. “which
rushed into the second column of the enemy, consisting of about 4,000
men, and after a desperate fight returned with a French eagle.” In
this gallant charge Col. Dorville had the scabbard of his sword shot
away, and a bullet passed through the breast of his coat. Had three
horses shot under him. On the death of Sir Wm. Ponsonby the command of
the “Union Brigade” devolved on Col. Muter, of the 6th Dgns., who,
being soon after wounded, was replaced by Col. Clifton, and Col.
Dorville succeeded to the command of the 1st Dgns. Made C.B. for
Waterloo. Retd. on h. p. 8th March, 1827. M. Miss Dewar, of Clapham,
and left at his death, 10th Nov., 1847, three daughters, who

Dorville, the late possessor, the last male representative of an
ancient family, on every page of whose eventful career in the navy the
word “Hero” is plainly visible.

Gen. James Inglis Hamilton, the colonel of the 21st, who was a

happened to meet his former sergt.-major and gave him money for
educational purposes. Later on he took little James Anderson to his
family seat at Murdestoun and introduced him to his maiden sister Miss
Christina Hamilton. The general and his sister educated James Anderson
and his brothers at Glasgow Grammar School. Through his patron’s army

Waterloo, as in a contemporary list of officers of the Scots Greys who
served at this battle, in the handwriting of Lieut. J.R.T. Graham of
this regt., Lieut. Falconar is noted as being “on baggage guard at
Brussels.” It is noticeable, however, that Falconar’s name appears in
the original “Waterloo Muster-roll” of the regt. given in Part II.;
and it may be that he re-joined the Greys before the close of the
battle. Placed on h. p. 25th March, 1816. D. at Woodcot, co.

fact that the Graham family received and sheltered Prince Charles
Edward at Barrock, after his defeat at Penrith, in Dec., 1745, for a
night. The old chair in which the Prince slept, and the remains of his
plaid (which plaid he gave Mrs. Graham when he thanked her on leaving
in the morning), are now in the possession of Miss Graham, to whom the
Editor is indebted for the above details of her father and ancestors.
It is said that the Prince fought at Culloden in someone else’s
plaid—having given away his own.

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

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.
Footnote 4:
Son of Col. P. Doherty. Promoted maj. in this regt. 8th Dec., 1818. D.
at Bangalore 12th June, 1819.
Footnote 5:
Served in the Pa. and in India. In the last charge made by his regt.
at Waterloo was wounded in the ankle, which troubled him ever
afterwards. Quitted the service in 1823. D. at Kames House, Millport,
17th Sept., 1852. The Clan Alester of Kintyre and the Isles is one of
the oldest in Scotland.
Footnote 6:

moment of his death was that of victory.” See flattering notice in the

flattened by the interposition of his watch. He had taken out his
watch to remark the time, when the regt. was ordered to advance; and
not being able to return it, he put it into the breast of his jacket,
and thus providentially his life was saved.” (Anecdote by T. Carter.)

Footnote D:
Raised in 1794 as the 26th Lt. Dragoons. Re-numbered “23rd” in 1802.
Made Lancers in 1816. Disbanded in Jan. 1818.
Footnote 1:
The star of the Dawsons was not propitious on the morning of the 18th
June, 1815. Whilst one brother had been sent to the rear on the
evening of 17th June as officer in charge of the baggage guard of 18th
Hussars, the eldest brother, John Dawson, 2nd Earl of Portarlington,
had betaken himself that same evening to Brussels or elsewhere. The
consequence of this step was that “on the morning of Waterloo, by an
unfortunate mistake, he was prevented from joining his regiment in
time to command it in the brilliant exploits it performed on that
memorable day.” His anguish was extreme. He joined the 18th Hussars,
and served with Sir H. Vivian’s brigade in the destructive and
successful charge made by that corps towards the close of the battle.
In this charge Lord Portarlington had a horse shot under him. No one
who knew this nobleman doubted his courage for a moment, but his
absence from duty on such an occasion necessitated his retirement from
the 23rd Dgns. in Sept., 1815. The Prince Regent showed much kind
feeling for Portarlington, and did his best to uphold the unfortunate
officer in the eyes of the world. Lord Portarlington purchased a
half-pay ensigncy in 86th Foot 21st Oct., 1821. Became lieut. on h. p.
10th Sept., 1825. Capt. h. p. 9th Aug., 1831. This rank was a curious
anomaly, as his lordship’s name had been retained in the _Army List_
as a “colonel” ever since Waterloo, and he was also awarded the
Waterloo medal. But the one misfortune of his life was ever before
him, and the remorse from knowing that he alone was the author of it
weighed upon him to such an extent that he took to dissipation, lost a
large fortune, and d. at a humble lodging in an obscure London slum,
28th Dec., 1845. In early life he had served in the Pa., and was
present at the battle of Talavera. He d. unm.

Alsatian family, for many years a banker at Madras. Served in the Pa.
