General Smith, dated 17th December 1821, written in a secretarial hand and signed by the Duke 'Wellington', asking the recipient to forward details of military services rendered requisite for the award of Order of the Bath, one folded 4to sheet, watermarked 'J. Budgen 1821', several folds (with a few associated small holes), final page (with direction) toned; 16 commission documents, pre-printed on vellum and completed in brown ink, appointing John Smith to various military positions, dated 1771-1837, with embossed paper seals, variously signed upper left by George III, George IV, and William IV, vertical folds as issued, a few dusty or marked, but generally in good condition, approximately 35 x 35 cm (13.25 x 16 ins), and slightly smaller; and various other official and personal papers and correspondence, including: a folded paper commission, pre-printed and completed in brown ink, appointing John Smith as Gentleman Cadet in the Royal Artillery, dated 1768, with embossed paper seal, somewhat torn; several folded paper Statements of the Services of Lieut-General Sir John Smith, pre-printed and completed in ink, one torn and with piece excised from lower right corner; two 10pp. manuscript narratives of the Services of Sir John Smith from 1771-1834 (one a copy of the other); several manuscript lists of officers served under; a manuscript note 'Memorandum for the Inscription to be Engraved on my Tombstone'; and a copy of a letter from Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, on Sir John's appointment to the command of the Royal Artillery at Gibraltar in 1804Qty: (-)NOTESGeneral Sir John Smith (1754-1837) was the only son of Captain John Smith (1722-1783) and the third of six successive generations of one family to serve in the Royal Artillery (of which five are documented). He fought in the American War of Independence, during which he was captured and imprisoned by the Americans. When he was finally released, after nine strenuous years in America, he was ship-wrecked on the way home and nearly drowned. He took part in a number of further campaigns, and was instrumental in expanding the British Empire in the West Indies. He served in Gibraltar from 1804 to 1814, including as Acting Governor and subsequently Governor. He became Colonel-Commandant of the 7th Battalion, Royal Horse Artillery in 1815, and was promoted to General in 1837. The unusually large number of preserved commission documents pertaining to this family were apparently kept in three specially constructed metal cases, which kept the documents well-preserved, despite their inevitable travels to various parts of the globe. Sir John's portrait was painted in oils by Henry Wyatt, a pupil of Thomas Lawrence, and it hung in the Royal Artillery Barracks at Woolwich for a time, until given to the family. Sir John was a personal friend of George III, George IV and William IV, and he received the Order of the Bath (after apparently prompting the Duke of Wellington on the subject - see letter above), as well as being made a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Hanovarian Guelphic Order. Apparently towards the end of the General's life William IV used to send a daily messenger to Sir John's residence in Woolwich to enquire after his health, and sometimes visited in person, on one occasion presenting him with a silver snuff box. According to at least one account Sir John appears to have been somewhat of a dandy: "The late Father of the Regiment, General Sir John Smith, when a Lieutenant Colonel was an amazing Beau and flattered himself he had a good leg. Of course his boots used to fit like gloves" (Captain R.J. Macdonald, The History of the Dress of the Royal Artillery, 1899). The memorandum regarding his epitaph requested that the inscription on his tomb include the following: "Sacred To the Memory of General Sir John Smith G.C.H., Colonel Commandant of the Royal Horse Artillery and Father of the Corps - after serving as an Officer in three quarters of the Globe 64 years - Honoured by his Sovereign - respected by all Ranks of the Army he had served with, beloved by his Friends and revered by his Family, His private life afforded an Example to all who love goodness, honour and and benevolence". His great grandson notes in the family history "His successors did not carry out his wishes".
