De Renzy's story is one of courage, resilience, and unwavering dedication to duty, despite facing a formidable challenge: the loss of his right hand in battle. Born in 1781, De Renzy entered the British Army at a young age and quickly distinguished himself through his bravery and tactical acumen. His military career reached a pivotal moment during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where he sustained a grievous injury that resulted in the amputation of his right hand. Despite this setback, De Renzy refused to be sidelined and continued to serve his country, adapting to his new circumstances with remarkable tenacity.

His left hand rests on the hilt of his sword, a reminder of the battles he had fought and the sacrifices he had made.
