Major General Daniel Hoghton, who fell at the head of his Brigade in the Battle of Albuera, on 16th May 1811.  General Hoghton was the 41-year-old younger son of the late MP Sir Henry Hoghton Bt.  Gazetted into the 8th Foot, he was in command of a Brigade in Stewarts 2nd Division.  At the start of the battle this Division was in reserve but was shortly moved to the south to relieve the Brigade of Zayas’ Division of Spanish infantry, which had held the French attack with great gallantry.  For the rest of the day, Hoghton's Brigade was at the centre of the battle and gave no ground, but at horrific expense.  63% of the Brigade were casualties and at the end of the day the senior officer of the Brigade was a Captain.  In one battalion the Ensign of the Colour tore it from its staff and stuffed it in his jacket to prevent its capture.  His body was found and buried by the only remaining members of his company - one sergeant and one corporal.

Capt Ramsden, ADC to General Hoghton, left an account of his death.  It was in the early part of the battle and where the fighting was heaviest that he saw the General and his horse fall.  When he eventually reached Hoghton, he found that he had been hit under both arms.  Hoghton tried to remount his horse but was unable to do so and was then carried to the rear, where on examination he was found to be severely wounded. The surgeon told Ramsden there was no hope and General Hoghton died soon after.  On examination his jacket was found to contain more than a dozen bullet holes.

Generals Beresford and Stewart, citing the 1654 Anglo-Luso Treaty, requested the Governor of Elvas that General Hoghton be buried in the British Cemetery, Elvas.  Memorials were placed in St. Paul's Cathedral, London and St. Leonard's Church, Walton-in-the-Dale, Lancashire.

• JONES, Henry Ireson, Lt. 7th Foot: London Gazette: Severely wounded, Albuera, 16 May 1811 (1st Battn.) The Gentleman’s Magazine,  March 1812 , p. 300:  Lately…At Elvas, of wounds received  at the battle of Albuera, aged 20, universally beloved and sincerely regretted, Lieut. Henry Ireson Jones, of the 9th Fusileers [sic]; a most promising officer, possessing the highest principles of honour and liberality.  Died Portugal, 7 Aug. 1811
• KIRBY, George, Capt. 57th Foot: London Gazette: Slightly wounded Albuera, 16 May 1811 (1st Battn.).  Died of wounds, 10 June 1811.  The Gentleman’s Magazine, July 1811, p. 90: Lately…At Elvas, from the wound he received on the 10th of May [sic], at the battle of Albuera, Captain Kirby 57th regiment, second son of the late Rev.

• McPHERSON, Donald, 1st Lt.  95th Foot was severely wounded during the storming of Badajoz, 6th April 1812. His death a month later was mentioned in many British publications. London Gazette: Died of wounds, 7 May 1812.  Return dated 25 May 1812. Register of Officers’ effects: Died of Wounds, 7 May 1812, at Elvas.  Single. He was cited in Kincaid's book 'Random Shots', pp. 288-9: "On the morning following the storming of Badajoz: Of the doomed, who still survived, was poor Donald McPherson, a gigantic Highlander of about six feet and a half, as good a soul as ever lived; in peace a lamb - in war a lion.  Donald feared for nothing either in this world or the next; he had been true to man and true to his God, and he looked his last hour in the face like a soldier and a Christian!  Donald’s final departure from this life shewed him a worthy specimen of his country, and his methodical arrangements, while they prove what I have stated, may, at the same time, serve as a model for Joe Hume himself, when he comes to cast up his last earthly accounts.  Donald had but an old mare and a portmanteau, with its contents, worth about £15, to leave behind him.  He took a double inventory of the latter, sending one to the regiment by post, and giving the other in charge of his servant - and paying the said worthy his wages up to the probable day of his death; he gave him a conditional order on the paymaster for whatever more might be his due should he survive beyond his time - and if ever man did, he certainly quitted this world with a clear conscience.  Poor Donald!  Peace be to thy manes, for thou weret one whom memory loves to dwell on!"

Potter, 28th reg. and Brig.-major to Maj.-Gen. Hon. C. Colville.
