rowland hill, 1st viscount hill

Rowland Hill, 1st Viscount Hill (1772 - 1842) was a soldier who served in the Napoleonic Wars as a subordinate to the Duke of Wellington.

He was a lieutenant general and second-in-command in later stages of the Peninsular War. Nicknamed "Daddy Hill", he was generally well-liked by his soldiers.

At the Battle of Waterloo he commanded one of the two corps. He led the famous charge of Sir Frederick Adam's brigade, towards the end of the battle, against Imperial Guard. For some time it was thought that he had fallen in the melee. He escaped, however, without a wound, and continued with the army in France until its withdrawal in 1818. He succeeded the Duke of Wellington as Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in 1828.
