I seem to recall that I once bumped into a Ponsonby in the main lift by what was then the front door of the Treasury. A salesman for something or other. Or perhaps a consultant. I think he owned to being a member of the same family.
He also appears in the fine film about Waterloo made by Sergei Fedorovich Bondarchuk. With his death, and those of many of his men, appearing to have resulted from his having charged too far. That apart, it was a fine charge.
He gets a much grander, and rather florid, memorial in St. Paul's Cathedral down the road.
