About this Item
An Original Letter Signed and Written by Lieutenant-General William Stuart. Dated 1815. A letter updating his intended locations in Oxford over the next few days. Lieutenant-General William Stuart 1778-1837 was a British Army officer who fought in the Napoleonic Wars. Stuart afterwards served in the Peninsular War and received a medal for the Battle of the Nive. In 1814 he attained the rank of colonel in the army and was appointed third Major of the Grenadier Guards. He was commanding officer of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Regiment of Guards during the Waterloo Campaign. He fought at the battle of Quatre Bras where he was wounded, and may have lost his arm as a result of that wound, "although an old label on the reverse of the present painting suggests that he received that injury at Waterloo". He was promoted to Major-General on 19 July 1821, and Lieutenant-General some time after that. Size of letter is 195mm x 160mm. Condition is quite good. Light folding creases. Light loss to edge. More images can be taken upon request. Ref17155. Seller Inventory # 024780
