1765 - 1823 Soldier. Born at Hopetoun House near Edinburgh. Hope served at the Battle of Alexandria (1801) and led the First Division in Spain during the Peninsular War (1808 - 14). Hope distinguished himself in the Peninsular War when his Commanding Officer was killed. Hope heroically took command of the British Army. Hope's successful evacuation of his army earned him a knighthood in his own right from King George III.
