When still Lord March he served as a very young officer on Wellington's staff. The duke valued his work and described him as 'the best fellow I ever saw '. March, like Fitzroy Somerset, was bright, energetic and aristocratic, a fine example of the gilded youths who adorned the duke's military family.
