Cannon, Richard
Great Britain. Army -- History; Great Britain. Army. Regiment of Foot, 14th (Buckinghamshire)
Having conducted, in conjunction with the able officers associated
with him in the other military departments, the details of the
British army, when it was on a scale of magnitude surpassing
anything previously known, and through the whole course of the most
tremendous contest in which the nation ever was engaged, and having
witnessed victory achieved, by the valour and discipline of the
troops under their matchless chief, with the glorious termination
of the war, he was rewarded with the dignity of BARONET, in
October, 1818; and in the beginning of the year 1820, he retired
from that high situation which he had so long and so ably filled,
carrying with him the cordial good wishes of every rank. He had
previously been appointed lieutenant-governor of Chelsea Hospital;
honored with the dignity of Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath,
and Grand Cross of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order; and in
1826, he was promoted to the rank of general. He died suddenly of a
fit of apoplexy, while on a visit with his family at Claydon Hall,
in Buckinghamshire, on the 3rd of September, 1826.
