"Died on the 24th of February, 1827, in Connaught-square, Lieutenant-Colonel Radclyffe, Major of Brigade to the Cavalry in Great Britain, aged 53.--This distinguished officer served in all the campaigns of the late revolutionary war, commencing with the Duke of York's, in Flanders, in 1793, and ending with the sanguinary battle of Waterloo. There he received a severe wound from a musket-ball, which lodged in his knee, the constant pain and irritation of which (as it could not be extracted) has thus prematurely destroyed his valuable life. His Lieut.-Colonelcy took its date from that glorious day. He was present at the battles of Salamanca, Vittoria, Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, the blockade of Pampeluna, and the attack of Bayonne, besides numerous engagements of minor note. He was Major of Brigade during the campaigns in Spain to the battle of Toulouse in April, 1814; after which he was appointed Assistant-Adjutant General to the Cavalry, and accompanied it as such through France to England. So entirely was his mind devoted to his profession, that almost the last words he spoke (only two hours before his death), in answer to a question from his physicians as to how he felt, were, 'I am retreating, retreating, retreating: I cannot advance.' He was a most scientific and dexterous swordsman, a skilful officer, and able tactician. Witness a small work which he printed on those subjects. He was a sincere and ardent friend, a conscientious Christian, and a brave and good man. He lived highly and universally respected, and died sincerely lamented." [67] A guard of honour, consisting of one major (Major Marten), two captains, two subalterns, four serjeants, and one hundred rank and file, with the royal standard, was ordered, by the king's special command, from Canterbury to Windsor Castle, for the purpose of escorting their majesties on the occasion of the presentation of a new standard to the royal horse guards (blues) by King William IV. on the 13th of August, 1832. SUCCESSION OF COLONELS OF THE ROYAL REGIMENT OF DRAGOONS. JOHN LORD CHURCHILL. _Appointed 19th November, 1683._ At its formation the ROYAL REGIMENT OF DRAGOONS had the honour of being commanded by one of the most distinguished officers Great Britain has produced,--a general who acquired celebrity in the field and in the cabinet,--who never fought a battle he did not win, nor besiege a town which he did not capture.
