WBritain 1/32 36051 British Lt General Lord Hill

Hill was one of the few officers Wellington trusted enough to give a separate command to , Hill was unfortunately stricken with malaria before his force fought at Albuera and had to hand it over to Sir William Beresford.Rising to general in 1812, Hill was often used by Wellington as an independent guard on his flank or rear, but again showed his fighting abilities at Vitoria, Souraren and St Pierre. At the latter he soundly defeated a larger French army under Marshal Soult. Aside from his excellent fighting qualities, Hill was an officer who deeply cared for his men, who called him Daddy Hill.
