George Murray

Lieutenant Colonel Sir George Murray is and officer on the staff of General Sir Arthur Wellesley, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in the Peninsula.

Promoted colonel on 9 March 1809, Murray was most gratified to be appointed quartermaster-general in the Peninsula under Wellesley, whom, since working with him in Denmark, he had regarded as his ideal of a commander. He held this appointment, with a year's interval in 1812, until the end of the war in 1814. His punctual, businesslike methods, tactful handling of the officers in his department, extraordinary topographical memory, and imperturbability in moments of crisis, enabled him, almost intuitively, to interpret Wellington's wishes, to reduce them to unambiguous operation orders, and then, as he said, to watch, ‘day and night even, their just execution’.
