Footnote H:
At the close of the Par. War the British Army was reduced to a peace
footing. The 3rd Batt. of the 14th Foot survived this general
reduction until the spring of 1815, when the dreaded order for its
disbanding arrived. Before this became an accomplished fact the escape
of Napoleon from Elba, and the consequent war with France, put a stop
to further reductions. The 3rd Batt. 14th was ordered to Belgium.
Being composed chiefly of very young recruits, the 14th were ordered
to Antwerp to join the garrison there, but through their colonel’s
personal application to Gen. Lord Hill, this order was countermanded
by Wellington himself, who inspected the regt. from the window of his
hotel at Brussels. “They are a very pretty little battalion,” said he
to Lord Hill; “tell them they may join the grand division as they
wish.” And so it came to pass that the “peasants,” as the battalion of
_young bucks_ were waggishly styled, took part in the “combat of
giants.”
Footnote 1:
Youngest son of the Rev. Thomas Holmes Tidy, chaplain to H.M. 26th
Foot, and afterwards rector of Red Marshall, co. Durham, by Henrietta
Augusta, dau. of the Rev. Wm. Skelly, by Lady Betty Gordon, dau. of
Alexander, Duke of Gordon. If “fighting blood” is hereditary, then
must “Frank Tidy,” as he was always called, have had a good share, for
he was maternally descended from Charles Mordaunt, the “fighting” Earl
of Peterborough, and had for his uncle the gallant Francis Skelly,
maj. in the 71st Highlanders, who gained renown at the siege of
Seringapatam. Joined the 43rd Regt. in Ireland as a volunteer at the
age of 16, and was soon gazetted an ensign. When serving with his
regt. in the West Indies “a mortality of from ten to thirteen men a
day reduced the 43rd to 96 rank and file, and Guadaloupe being
disputed inch by inch, the 43rd, at the time of its capture at
Berville, did not contain more than two officers and twenty men fit
for duty.” Tidy was confined for 15 months on board a hulk, subject to
the tyranny and cruelty of Victor Hughes, thence sent to France, and
eventually allowed to return to England on parole. Appointed adjt. of
the 43rd. Promoted capt. 1st West India Regt. 1798; in 1799 exchanged
to the Royal Scots. A.D.C. to Sir George Beckwith in the West Indies.
