In Response To: information on John Shee ()

"Despite his new responsibilities he did not ignore his own regiment, the 33rd, for he found that his second in command, Major John Shee, was not doing his duty as he should be, so he made sure he told the sometimes troublesome Major that he would never fail to interfere with the 33rd whenever he found it necessary." :

"Wellesley turned the 33rd over to his second-in-command, Major John Shee not a wholly satisfactory arrangement, for in March the following year he wrote sharply to Shee that he had seen some of the regiments soldiers away from their battalion as it formed up, some of them without their muskets. Shees response was intemperate and offensive, and Wellesley warned him that he would show any similar letter to the commander-in-chief. However, he concluded that:
"I have no intention whatever of doing anything which can have any effect unpleasant to your feelings, and that the best method of coming to such an understanding as we ought to live upon is, to inquire before you act in consequence of anything that passes. Of this you may be certain, that however my attention may be engaged by other objects, whenever I find it necessary I shall interfere in everything that concerns the 33rd." [9]

"The egregious Major Shee had tendered his resignation after a quarrel with a brother officer in the mess, and Wellesley would not let him retract it, although he relented sufficiently to allow Shee to go home on health grounds and there sell his commission. [54] " :
