Le Marchant had been inspired to introduce the sword exercise after noting the clumsiness and high rate of injury of the dragoons in the Flanders campaign. He first sought tuition from foreign masters, and consulted sword-cutlers on improved blades. Eventually detachments from every regiment were tutored in his system. In 1799 he submitted to the Duke of York a plan for a national establishment for the instruction of officers, and in 1801 a parliamentary grant was voted for a royal military college (which eventually moved to Sandhurst). Le Marchant was Lieutenant-Governor of the schools until his promotion to Major-General in 1810. In 1812 he was fatally wounded by a musket-ball at the Battle of Salamanca - but not before he had cut down six of the enemy with his own hand.
