Sidney Smith (Royal Navy officer)

Commodore Smith wounded at [[Battle of Alexandria (1801)|Alexandria]] 1801. Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith (21 June 176426 May 1840) was a British naval and intelligence officer. Serving in the American and French revolutionary wars and Napoleonic Wars, he rose to the rank of Admiral.

Smith was known for his outspoken character and penchant for acting on his own initiative, which caused a great deal of friction with many of his superiors and colleagues. His military skill, personal intelligence and enterprise led to his involvement in a variety of tasks which involved warfare, diplomacy and espionage. He became a hero in Britain for leading the successful defence of Acre in 1799, thwarting Napoleon's plans of further conquest in the Sinai.

Napoleon Bonaparte, reminiscing later in his life, said of him: "That man made me miss my destiny". Provided by Wikipedia
