Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

He also asked General Baird where he would prefer to remain himself. In reply, Baird thanked Lord Cavan for offering him a choice, but said that he would leave the decision entirely to him. On 5th December the Earl informed Baird that he did not propose to give him the command of any particular brigade, but to appoint him second-incommand of the army in Egypt. On this date a despatch arrived bringing official intelligence that the preliminaries of peace had been signed between England and France. The negotiations with the Turks were still in progress, and early in January a secretary of the Embassy arrived from Constantinople instead of Lord Elgin. The Mamelukes began to be uneasy for their safety, and on 24th January they left Gizeh and set out for Upper Egypt. This action relieved the British authorities from a great load of embarrassment, and the subsequent strife between the Turks and the Mamelukes does not concern us. About this time General Baird received a despatch from Lord Wellesley, dated 17th October 1801, in which the Governor-General stated that owing to the internal state of affairs in India he had decided to relinquish the expedition against Java and Mauritius, and he directed General Baird to return to India as soon as he could be spared from Egypt. He added that he had put Sir Home Popham in political charge of the Red Sea, and concluded as follows: --"I cannot close this despatch without...
