Description
English: Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith 1764 - 1840, joined the Navy aged 11, at the start of the War of American Independence, and became a controversial but successful commander of irregular forces in the Mediterranean during the French wars, 1793-1815. Apart from Wellington he was the only British Commander who successfully defied Napoleon on land, by repulsing his Siege of Acre (Syria) in 1799. A talented linguist, he found the French appreciated his flamboyance more than the British, and he eventually retired to Paris.

Commissioned as a national monument, pursuant to vote of the House of Commons in 1842.
