Lt. Gen. Alexander George Fraser, 17th Lord Saltoun, KT, GCH, KCB

From Wikipedia:

"He served with the grenadiers in Sicily (1806), at Coruna (1808), on Walcheren (1809), and in Spain and France from 1812 to 1814. In 1815, Lord Saltoun fought as a captain in the First Regiment of Guards (later the Grenadier Guards) in the Orchard at Hougomont on the morning of the Battle of Waterloo. During the battle he had four horses shot from underneath him.

After Waterloo he became a Knight of St. George of Russia (KStG) and a knight of the Austrian Military Order of Maria Theresa (KMT).

Fraser was described by Wellington as a "pattern to the army both as man and soldier."

He was appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Guelphic Order (GCH) in 1821 and a Knight of the Thistle in 1852. He was a Scottish representative peer from 1807 until his death and a Lord of the Bedchamber from 1821.

He was appointed a major-general in 1837 and commanded the first brigade in the Battle of Chinkiang (1842) during the First Opium War and afterwards the whole force until 1843. He was further promoted to lieutenant-general in 1849."
