Richardson Pack
Richardson Pack (1682–1728) was an English professional soldier and writer.
==Life==
Born on 29 November 1682, was son of John Pack of Stoke Ash, High Sheriff of Suffolk cin 1697. His mother was daughter and coheiress of Robert Richardson of Tudhoe, County Durham. He was admitted in 1693 to Merchant Taylors' School, London. On 18 June 1697 he matriculated as a fellow-commoner at St John's College, Oxford, and stayed there for two years, when he left without taking his degree. As his father intended him for the law, he became in 1698 a student of the Middle Temple, and, after eight terms standing, was called to the bar; but he joined the army.
Pack's first command was in March 1705, when he was promoted to the head of a company of foot. His regiment served with Marshal Staremberg in November 1710 at the battle of Villa Viciosa, where his bravery attracted the notice of John Campbell, 2nd Duke of Argyll, who advanced him to the post of major, and became his friend. Pack's subsequent movements are known from his poems. He was at Mombris in Catalonia in October 1709, when he addressed some lines to John Creed of Oundle in Northamptonshire, and during the winter of 1712–13 he was writing to the Campbells from Minorca. In June 1714 he was at Ipswich, and in the following August was living at Stoke Ash.
Pack had returned to London by 1719, and was living in Jermyn Street, St. James's, but by 1722 he was at Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. There he remained for some years, and in the spring of 1724 was dangerously ill, but recovered under the care of Dr. Richard Mead. Early in 1725 he moved to Exeter, but he followed Colonel Montagu's regiment, in which he was then a major, when it was ordered to Aberdeen. He died at Aberdeen in September 1728.
