Geocache Description:

This is a nano cache near to "Whittlesea" station. Please bring your own pen and beware of local muggles.

Whittlesey's most famous son is undoubtedly Sir Harry George Waklyn Smith (1788–1860), hero of the Battle of Aliwal (India), whose life has been the subject of several books. His illustrious military career saw him rise from a cavalryman in the Whittlesea troop up to the rank of Major General, and Baronet of Aliwal. He was governor of the Cape of Good Hope from 1847-1852 during a period of intense unrest, and whilst he eventually lost the faith of his superiors, he was welcomed back to England a hero.
