Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Ernest Jones Ernest Charles Jones was born at Berlin on the 25th of January, 1819. His father was Major Charles Jones, of the 15th Hussars, Equerry to the Duke of Cumberland, who was the uncle of Queen Victoria, and became King of Hanover under the title of Ernest I. Major Jones served throughout the Peninsular War under Sir John Moore, by whose side he was standing when the latter was killed by a cannon ball at the battle of Corunna. He also served under the Duke of Wellington, both in Spain and at Waterloo. He greatly distinguished himself in the brilliant Cavalry action at Sahagrin, in which the Hussars routed Napoleon´s Cuirassiers, and in which he received a severe sabre out on the head. He married the daughter of Alexander Annesley, Esq., a large landowner in Kent, and the subject of the present memoir was the only offspring of that union. The family was originally of Welsh offspring, but for the last 500 years has been settled in England. In consequence of the peace that followed the final overthrow of Napoleon, and suffering from his wounds, Major Jones retired from active service, and devoted himself to his duties as Equerry of the Duke of Cumberland. In pursuance of this he accompanied H.R.H. to the Prussian Court, and it was while his parents were thus residing at Berlin that Ernest Jones was born, being named after the King, who was his godfather.
