Victor Frederick William Augustus Paget was born on 14 August 1861 at the British Legation, Copenhagen, Denmark, the eldest son of the Rt. Hon. Sir Augustus Paget, G.C.B., Envoy extraordinary and Minister plenipotentiary to Denmark, and Countess Walpurga Helena, eldest daughter to Charles, Count of Hohenthal, and Lady of Honour to the Imperial Princess of Prussia. He was the great-grandson of Henry Bayly Paget, 1st Earl of Uxbridge, and the great nephew of Field Marshal Henry William Paget, 2nd Earl of Uxbridge and 1st Marquess of Anglesey, who commanded the Cavalry at the Battle of Waterloo, famously losing his leg in the Battle, at which the immortal dialogue was said to have taken place:
Uxbridge: “By Jove sir, I have lost a leg”
Wellington: “By Jove Sir, so you have.”
Paget was baptised in the Anglican church in Copenhagen in September 1861, and amongst his Godparents were the Imperial Prince and Princess of Prussia. He was educated at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and was commissioned Lieutenant in the Royal Horse Artillery on 26 July 1881. Promoted Captain on 31 March 1890, he served as an Aide-de-Camp at the British Legation in Copenhagen. Receiving his Majority on 9 October 1899, he retired on 25 December 1907, but was re-employed as Major in the Royal Field Artillery on the outbreak of the Great War. He served with the 62nd Brigade, New Armies, as a temporary Lieutenant-Colonel in France from 30 January 1915 until 30 March 1917, when he retired and was granted the honorary rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
Paget married Miss Juliana Uniacke, the daughter of Captain Henry Turner Uniacke, 19th Foot, at St. George’s, Hanover Square, London, in September 1901. She died without issue in May 1906. Lieutenant-Colonel Paget died in London on 28 June 1927.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL BUYERS
All lots in DNW auctions are automatically reserved at the bid step which reflects 80% of the lower estimate figure, unless otherwise instructed by the vendor.
All multiple lots (lots containing two or more items) with the exception of designated sets of notes, are sold as viewed and not subject to return. Buyers are recommended to view such lots.
Lots marked ‘x’ in dark blue are subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the EU.
Important Notice Advance Bidding Facility
Please note that our easy-to-use advance bidding facility, which replaces the ‘old-fashioned’ commission bid system, provides all bidders with total control over their bids right up to the point that the lot is offered for sale.
Bids made online cannot be seen by others and do not go live until the actual moment that the lot in question is being offered for sale. All bids can be easily altered or cancelled by the bidder prior to this point. An automated confirmatory email will be sent confirming all bids and alterations.
Anyone with a valid email address can easily register to bid online.
There is no additional charge for online bidding and it is not necessary to pre-register a payment card in order to do so.
It is recommended that all bidders execute their own bids, either prior to the auction by using this facility or live as the auction is taking place.
Whilst we are still happy to execute all bids submitted in writing or by phone, fax or any other method, it should be noted that all bids left with us will be entered at our offices using the same bidding facility to which all our clients now have access. There is, therefore, no better way of ensuring the accuracy of your advance bids than to place them yourself online.
