when was he born

The article gives 1772. Someone has claimed it is 1764. The Waterloo Rollcall source evidently gives it, but the link takes you to the start.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:37, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A 1764 birth would have made him a ridiculously old ensign, at 29 years of age, when he joined the army. Most ensigns were under 20, 29 would be a very late age to start any profession in the period. Urselius (talk) 04:59, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
