Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Sir David Baird When I was stationed at Bangalore with my regiment, I paid several visits to Seringapatam, and then, quite naturally, I tried to find out what I could about Sir David Baird. There have been few more dramatic events than the three visits of Baird to Seringapatam - first as a prisoner, then as a brigadier, and lastly as the leader of the storming party. Another curious circumstance is the manner in which Sir David so frequently met the Duke of Wellington and Sir Home Popham on active service, and it is strange that his old regiment (the 71st) should have served under him in the capture of the Cape, and should have taken part in the Corunna campaign. On the death of Sir David Baird, his widow handed his papers to Mr. Theodore Hook, who published a biography in two volumes in the year 1832.
