Chapter V: Introduction: To First Edition (3)

5th son of John Campbell, of Melfort, by Colina, dau. of John
Campbell, of Auchalader. In 1792 he ran away from Perth Academy, and
entered himself on the books of a ship bound for the West Indies. He
was met in the fruit market at Kingston, Jamaica, by his brother
Patrick (aftds. an admiral), a lieut. on board a man-of-war, who
brought him home. In 1793 became a midshipman on board an East
Indiaman. Two years later we find him serving as a lieut. in the 3rd
Batt. Breadalbane Fencibles, and in 1799 he was appointed ens. in a
West India Regt. Exchanged to the Ross-shire Buffs, and as capt.,
served under Sir A. Wellesley at the storming of Ahmednuggur, where
his distinguished gallantry won him a brevet majority. At Assaye he
had two horses shot under him, and was severely wounded. He
accompanied Sir A. Wellesley to the Peninsula, and was for a
considerable time on the staff of the army. For his services in
Spain he obtained the gold cross with six clasps, and in Jan., 1815,
was made K.C.B. He was a splendid soldier, but a bad French scholar.
“When he wished his dinner to be arranged on the table, he used, as
it were, to address the dishes, ‘_Bif-teck venez içi! Petits pâtés
allez là!_’” (anecdote by Wellington). Was Governor of Ceylon from
1840–7. During his residence there he frequently heard from his
great chief, Wellington, his attached friend. “We are both growing
old,” wrote the Duke to Campbell; “God knows if we shall ever meet
again. Happen what may, I shall never forget our first meeting under
the walls of Ahmednuggur.” Sir Colin returned to England in June,
1847, and d. on the 13th of same month, in London, aged seventy-one,
and was buried in St. James’s Church, Piccadilly.

Footnote 1:

3rd son of Sir Gervase Clifton, Bart., of Clifton, Notts,
representative of a very ancient family. Served throughout the Par.
War, and received the gold medal and one clasp for Fuentes d’Onor and
Vittoria. On the death of Sir Wm. Ponsonby at Waterloo, the command of
the 2nd Cavalry Brigade devolved upon Col. Clifton. G.C.B., K.C.H.,
K.S.A., gen. in the army and Col.-in-Chf. 1st Dgns. D. 7th March,
1869, unm.

Footnote 2:

The name of Dorville has only been known in England for a little over
a century; but it is that of a well-known Norman family which
flourished for six hundred years in France prior to its exodus from
France to North Germany, for religious causes, early in the 17th
century. From Germany the “d’Orvilles” migrated to Holland, where the
family left its mark in the person of the learned James Philip
Dorville, professor of history and languages to a Dutch university,
and likewise a Sicilian explorer, whose valuable book on Sicily (with
rare illustrations), written in the purest Latin, is treasured, with
other Dorville books, in the Bodleian Library. The professor’s son,
John Dorville, quitted Holland and settled in England. He bought the
Ravenscourt Estate at Fulham. M. Anne Gibson (grand-daughter of Edmund
Gibson, Bishop of London), and had three sons, the two younger of whom
were Philip and Thomas, both of whom entered the army and did good
service in the Par. War—the former being for some time on Lord
Anglesey’s staff, and the latter in the 1st Foot Guards. At Waterloo
Col. Dorville commanded the two squadrons of the 1st Dgns. “which
rushed into the second column of the enemy, consisting of about 4,000
men, and after a desperate fight returned with a French eagle.” In
this gallant charge Col. Dorville had the scabbard of his sword shot
away, and a bullet passed through the breast of his coat. Had three
horses shot under him. On the death of Sir Wm. Ponsonby the command of
the “Union Brigade” devolved on Col. Muter, of the 6th Dgns., who,
being soon after wounded, was replaced by Col. Clifton, and Col.
Dorville succeeded to the command of the 1st Dgns. Made C.B. for
Waterloo. Retd. on h. p. 8th March, 1827. M. Miss Dewar, of Clapham,
and left at his death, 10th Nov., 1847, three daughters, who
bequeathed the High Croft Estate at Malvern to their cousin, Admiral
Dorville, the late possessor, the last male representative of an
ancient family, on every page of whose eventful career in the navy the
word “Hero” is plainly visible.

Footnote 3:

Made bt.-lt.-col. for Waterloo. H. p. list 1820. Appointed maj. of

Gen. James Inglis Hamilton, the colonel of the 21st, who was a

educational purposes. Later on he took little James Anderson to his

Christina Hamilton. The general and his sister educated James Anderson
and his brothers at Glasgow Grammar School. Through his patron’s army

His trusty sword was gone, but the scabbard and silken sash remained.
These relics were transmitted to Lieut. Jno. Anderson, the colonel’s

Waterloo, as in a contemporary list of officers of the Scots Greys who
served at this battle, in the handwriting of Lieut. J.R.T. Graham of
this regt., Lieut. Falconar is noted as being “on baggage guard at
Brussels.” It is noticeable, however, that Falconar’s name appears in
the original “Waterloo Muster-roll” of the regt. given in Part II.;
and it may be that he re-joined the Greys before the close of the
battle. Placed on h. p. 25th March, 1816. D. at Woodcot, co.
