james inglis (anderson) hamilton

James Inglis (Anderson) Hamilton (1777-1815) was a Colonel in the British Army killed at the Battle of Waterloo. He was born as Jamie Anderson on July 4, 1777 at a camp of the Saratoga Campaign in New York. His father, John Anderson, was Sergeant-Major of the 21st Foot, and died in the Battle of Saratoga. Brigadier General James Inglis Hamilton adopted him and returned with him to Scotland when finally released. In 1792 his adopted father purchased a cornet's commission for him. He inherited his adopted father's estate of Murdostoun, Scotland in 1803. By the time of Waterloo he was a Lt. Colonel, commanding the Scots Greys. While leading a charge on horseback, he lost his left arm. He put the reins in his mouth and continued the charge, even after his right arm was severed by a French lancer. Moments later he was shot and killed. Inglis, James Inglis, James
