Peninsular War - three ink MS letters sent to Lt. General Roland Hill, from Spanish correspondents, including a two-page account of action dated 8 Nov. 1811, another later account dated 22 Nov. 1811 and a declaration dated 27 Feb. 1814 (3), document wallet of research, etc Lieutenant General Roland Hill (1772-1842), later General Rowland Hill, 1st Viscount Hill, GCB, GCH, served in the Napoleonic Wars as a trusted and competent brigade, division and corps commander under the command of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. During his colonelcy of the 94th Regiment of Foot (1809-1815) the regiment went to Lisbon and from there to Cadiz in 1810, where it was distinguished at the sanguinary defence of Fort Matagorda before joining the then Lord Wellington's army in the Lines of Torres. By 1814 the regiment was posted to Ireland, where it remained through the Waterloo campaign and was eventually disbanded in December 1818. Wellington said, "The best of Hill is that I always know where to find him" Hill later went on to succeed Wellington as Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in 1828 until his own death in 1842. Nicknamed "Daddy Hill", he looked after his troops and was adored by his men. On one occasion, he provided a wounded officer who arrived at his headquarters with a lunch basket.
