From this, while still remaining at school, he exchanged into the 89th; and from that into the 4th, which in 1799 he joined as aide-de-camp to Sir Jame§^ Duff, the commander of the Leinster district. But in the course of a few months he resigned this post on being promoted to a lieutenancy in the 95 th, ^ a newly-organised rifle corps which was being formed by a selection of men and officers throughout the army, and which in a few years with the 53rd and 52nd was formed by Sir John Moore into a... brigade which became the celebrated light division of the Peninsular army. For a few months in 1805 and 1806, though he had now become a cap- tain in the artillery, he had nevertheless the benefit of witnessing the advantages of Moore's system of training, being sent to Hythe for the construction of a mili- tary canal under his orders. And it was a fortunate employment for him, since it was the admiration which he conceived for that great officer that first imbued him with an ardent love for his profession, which till that time he had apparently regarded with no great partiality.
