Sir James Shaw-Kennedy - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | At the great assault of January 19th Shaw carried his general, mortally wounded, from the glacis, and at Badajoz, now once more with the 43rd, he displayed, at the lesser breach, a gallantry which furnished his brother officer William Napier with the theme of one of his most glorious descriptive passages (Peninsular War, bk. |
 | | At the siege and the battle of Salamanca, in the retreat from Burgos, Shaw, still a subaltern, distinguished himself again and again, but he had to return to England at the end of the year, broken in health. |
 | | During the occupation of France by the allied army Shaw was commandant of Calais, and on his return to England was employed as a staff officer in the North. |
