General Watts has a fighting reputation second to no one in the Army. The Campaign for him has been one long Malplaquet a hard-fought soldiers' battle, and no man has known better how to elicit the inherent steadfastness of British troops. To have led first a Brigade and then a Division through some of the fiercest fights of all history is no small record for a man on the verge of sixty years.
