1800-
1883) was a British military
leader of the
Victorian era. Born in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, he had risen to the rank of colonel by the time of the
Crimean War, and in
1854, he became British military commissioner with the Turkish army. He held
Kars[?] against the Russians until November of that year, when he was forced to surrender with
honour. His reward for his sterling service was a
baronetcy.
