Lord Henry Paget, Earl of Uxbridge ~ Figure at Plas Newydd House, Wales

By trihelm
Henry William Paget was a prominent politician and military commander. He served as MP for Carnarvon and also for Milborne Port in Somerset. His military career started in the 1790s and he is best known for his role in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 where he was, as a Lieutenant-General, second in command to Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), 1st Duke of Wellington, and was in command of the British, Belgian and Dutch cavalry. Having led the cavalry charge, he was, towards the end of the battle, struck by cannon fire, whereupon he is reputed to have turned to Wellington and remarked: �By God, Sir, I have lost my leg.�
