Lieutenant-General Robert Ballard Long (4 April 1771 – 2 March 1825) was an officer of the British and Hanoverian Armies who despite extensive service during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars never managed to achieve high command due to his abrasive manner with his superiors and his alleged tactical ineptitude. Although he remained a cavalry commander in the Peninsular War between 1811 and 1813, the British commander Wellington became disillusioned with Long's abilities. Wellington's opinion was never expressed directly, though when the Prince Regent manoeuvred his favourite, Colquhoun Grant into replacing Long as a cavalry brigade commander, Wellington conspicuously made no effort to retain Long. Other senior officers, including Sir William Beresford and the Duke of Cumberland,

  • Robert Ballard Long, né le 4 avril 1771 à Chichester au Royaume-Uni et mort le 2 mars 1825 à Londres, est un militaire britannique ayant servi pendant les guerres de la Révolution française et les guerres napoléoniennes. En dépit de sa longue présence à l'armée, il n'obtint jamais de grand commandement en raison de son attitude abrasive envers ses supérieurs et de sa prétendue incompétence tactique. (fr)

  • Генерал-лейтенант Роберт Баллард Лонг (4 апреля 1771, Чичестер — 2 марта 1825, Вестминстер, Лондонское графство) — офицер британской и ганноверской армий, который, несмотря на длительную службу во время французских революционных и наполеоновских войн, так и не смог добиться высокого звания из-за своей резкой манеры общения с начальством и недостатка тактического мышления. Хотя он оставался командиром кавалерии в Пиренейской войне между 1811 и 1813 годами, его начальник, британский командир Веллингтон разочаровался в способностях Лонга. Своё мнение Веллингтон никогда не выражал напрямую, хотя, когда принц-регент начал интриги, чтобы заменить Лонга в качестве командира кавалерийской бригады своим фаворитом Колкухуном Грантом, Веллингтон явно не предпринял никаких усилий, чтобы сохранить Лонг (ru)
