Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith, KCB, GCTE (21 June 1764 26 May 1840) was the British admiral of whom Napoleon Bonaparte said, "That man made me miss my destiny". Sidney Smith, as he always called himself, was born into a military and naval family with connections to the Pitt family. He was the second son of Captain John Smith of the Guards, and was born at Westminster. Sidney Smith attended Tonbridge School until 1772. He joined the Royal Navy in 1777 and fought in the American Revolutionary War, where he saw action in 1778 against the American frigate Raleigh. For his bravery under Rodney in the action near Cape St Vincent in January 1780, Sidney Smith was, on September 25, appointed lieutenant of the 74-gun third-rate Alcide, despite being under the required age of nineteen.
