Tour Scotland Photograph Field Marshall Lord Clyde Statue George Square Glasgow
Tour Scotland photograph of the Field Marshall Lord Clyde statue in George Square on ancestry visit to Glasgow, Scotland. Lord Clyde, born 1792, died 1863, was educated at the High School of Glasgow. He was a British Army officer who famously commanded the Thin Red Line of the 93rd Highlanders during the Crimean War, driving back the Russians at the Battle of Balaclava. He later became Commander in Chief of the Indian Army and was nicknamed Old Careful because of his concern for the men under his command. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
