Moyle Sherer (1789-1869), British army officer and writer of military history. As a member of the 34th Regiment of Foot Sherer saw action in Portugal during the Peninsular War at the battles of Albuera, Arroyo des Molinos, and Vitoria. He was taken prisoner following the Battle of Maya and removed to France where he spent the next two years. His Military Memoirs of Field Marshall the Duke of Wellington presents a laudatory account of the Field Marshal's achievements; from his first appointment in the British army serving in the Netherlands, through his Governorship in India, to the Peninsular campaign and the ending of the Napoleonic Wars following the decisive victory of Waterloo.
