INGLIS, SIR WILLIAM (1764-1835)

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 565 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INGLIS, SIR WILLIAM (1764-1835) , British soldier, was born in 1764, a member of an old Roxburghshire family. He entered the army in 1781. After ten years in America he served in
Flanders
 , and in 1796 took
part
  in the capture of St Lucia. In 18o9 he commanded a brigade in the Peninsula, taking
part
  in the battle of Busaco (181o) and the first siege of Badajoz. At Albuera his
regiment
 , the J7th, occupied a most important position, and was exposed to a deadly fire. " Die hard! Fifty-Seventh," cried
Inglis
 , " Die hard ! " The
regiment
 's answer has gone down to history. Out of a
total
  strength of 579, 2,3
officers
  and 415 rank and file were killed and wounded.
Inglis
  himself was wounded. On recovering, he saw further Peninsular service. In two engagements his
horse
  was shot under him. His services were rewarded by the thanks of
parliament
  and in 1825 he became
lieutenant
 -general, and was made a K.C.B. After holding the governorships of Kinsale and
Cork
 , he was, in 1830, appointed colonel of the J7th. He died at Ramsgate on the 29th of November 1835.
