Living in 1874 as Lt. J.R. Smith, h. p. 38th Foot. Entered the army in 1814. Was present at the storming of Cambray, and afterwards at the capture of Hattras, in the East Indies. Also served in the Deccan campaign of 1817–18. His commissions are dated: Ensign, Oct. 13th, 1814; lt., March 20th, 1824. Footnote 29: The only officer of the 14th Foot wounded at Waterloo, and he, strange to say, “was the shortest man in the regiment” (Lord Albemarle’s account of the battle.) A brother ensign, Arthur Ormsby, was wounded at Cambray six days later. Footnote 30: Capt. 90th Foot 26th Dec., 1826. Serving in 1830. Footnote 31: 1st Lieut. Rl. Welsh Fusiliers 7th Apr. 1825. Ret. h. p. 10th Foot 31st Dec., 1830. Living 1846. Footnote 32: H. p. 24th Feb., 1818. Footnote 33: H. p. 9th May, 1818. Footnote 34: The 6th Earl of Albemarle, gen. in the army, unattached. Bn. 13th June, 1799. 2nd son of Wm. Charles 4th Earl of Albemarle, by his first wife, the hon. Eliz. Southwell, dau. of Edward Lord de Clifford. England may thank Wm. III. for having given us the Keppels 200 years ago. It was this monarch who brought over Arnold Joost Van Keppel (descended from Walter Van Keppel, Lord of Keppel, 1179) as a page in 1688, and who raised him from one high post to another until he became Earl of Albemarle, a Knight of the Garter, and gen. of the Dutch forces in 1702. This nobleman fought under Marlborough in the wars of Queen Anne, and our last Stuart monarch stood sponsor to Lord Albemarle’s eldest son, who succeeded his father as William Anne 2nd Earl—a general officer and British ambassador to Paris. The two eldest sons of the 2nd earl were equally distinguished in their respective professions—the army and navy. Viscount Bury was A.D.C. to the Duke of Cumberland at Fontenoy and Culloden. He subsequently attained the rank of lt.-gen. and was com.-in-chf. at the reduction of the Havannah, which brought him much renown. His brother Augustus became famous as Adm. Keppel, and for his eminent services was created Visct. Keppel, of Elvedon, Suffolk (extinct). Gen. Visct. Bury succeeded as 3rd Earl, and it was his grandson, the sixth earl, who joined the 3rd Batt. 14th Foot six weeks before Waterloo. The following Waterloo anecdote is given by Mrs. Ward in her memoir of Col. Tidy (already referred to), and is corroborated by Lord Albemarle himself in his interesting autobiography published in 1876:—
