William Leeke (1797–1879) was a British Army officer and clergyman, known for his published reminiscences of the Waterloo Campaign, which form a primary source for many modern histories of the campaign. ==Early life== Leeke was born in 1797 on the Isle of Wight to a naval family, who owned an estate in Hampshire. He was brother to Sir Henry John Leeke, who rose to the rank of admiral in the Royal Navy. Their father was Samuel Leeke, a deputy lieutenant of Hampshire,〔J. K. Laughton, (‘Leeke, Sir Henry John (1794–1870)’ ), rev. Roger T. Stearn, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edition, October 2005, accessed 9 September 2008〕 and their mother was Sophia, daughter of Capt. Richard Bargus, R.N.〔''Peerage of the House of Commons'' (1862) (p. 191 )〕 Leeke's eldest brother Samuel had also served in the navy, but died off Cadiz in 1810, while serving as a lieutenant.〔Leeke (Vol II), p. 462〕 His sister, Urania, married Admiral Sir Edward Tucker.〔(''The Gentleman's Magazine 1864, p. 673 )〕
