Name

@Opera hat: Hi, what was your source for changing the article name? I've checked a couple of biographies to hand and don't see any reference to him using Ormsby over John. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:27, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Hussey Vivian's reply to George Gawler's The Close and Crisis of Waterloo published in the United Service Journal and Naval and Military Magazine, 1833: "Sir Ormsby Vandeleur's brigade, which had [...] been posted on my right and rear in support" p. 316; "the 11th light dragoons, of Sir Ormsby Vandeleur's brigade" p. 321.

Cavalié Mercer, Journal of the Waterloo Campaign, posthumously published 1870, vol. I: "a handsome chateau, where Sir Ormsby Vandeleur had his divisional headquarters" p. 170; "we found Sir Ormsby Vandeleur's brigade of light dragoons" ... "Sir Ormsby cut my queries short with an asperity totally uncalled for" pp. 236–7; "Meantime Sir Ormsby Vandeleur's brigade of light dragoons having formed up in front of the houses" p. 263; "the little dip that separated me from Sir O. Vandeleur" p. 267; "Sir Ormsby came furiously up" ... "[Lord Uxbridge gave] some orders to Sir Ormsby, of whom I saw no more that day" p. 268.

The Duke of Wellington mentioned "Sir J. Vandeleur" in his memorandum of 30 April 1815 but "Sir O. Vandeleur" in his dispatch of 19 June 1815.
