field See also:marshal and See also:governor-See also:general of See also:India, was See also:born at See also:Wrotham in See also:Kent on the 3oth of See also:March 1785. After being at See also:Eton, he entered the See also:army in 1799 as an See also:ensign in the See also:Queen's Rangers, a See also:corps then stationed in Upper See also:Canada. His first active service was at the See also:battle of Vimiera, where he was wounded; and at See also:Corunna he was by the See also:side of See also:Sir See also:John See also:Moore when he received his See also:death-See also:wound. Subsequently he received an See also:appointment as See also:deputy-quartermaster-general in the Portuguese army from Marshal See also:Beresford, and was See also:present at nearly all the battles of the See also:Peninsular See also:War, being wounded again at See also:Vittoria. At See also:Albuera he saved the See also:day for the British by taking the responsibility at a See also:critical moment of strongly urging General See also:Cole's See also:division to advance. When See also:peace was again broken in 1815 by See also:Napoleon's See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape from See also:Elba, Hardinge hastened into active service, and was. appointed to the important See also:post of See also:commissioner at the Prussian headquarters. In this capacity he was present at the battle of Ligny on the 16th of See also:June 1815, where he lost his See also:left See also:hand by a shot, and thus was not present at See also:Waterloo, fought two days later. For the loss of his hand he received a See also:pension of £300; he had already been made a K.C.B., and See also:Wellington presented him with a See also:sword that had belonged to Napoleon. In 182o and 1826 Sir Henry Hardinge was returned to See also:parliament as member for See also:Durham; and in 1828 he accepted the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of secretary at war in Wellington's See also:ministry, a post which he also filled in See also:Peel's See also:cabinet in 1841-1844. In 1830 and 1834-1835 he was See also:chief secretary for See also:Ireland. In 1844 he succeeded See also:Lord See also:Ellenborough as governor-general of India. During his See also:term of office the first See also:Sikh War See also:broke out; and Hardinge, waiving his right to the supreme command, magnanimously offered to serve as second in command under Sir See also:Hugh See also:Gough; but disagreeing with the latter's See also:plan of See also:campaign at See also:Ferozeshah, he temporarily reasserted his authority as governor-general (see SIKH See also:WARS). After the successful termination of the campaign at See also:Sobraon he was created Viscount Hardinge of See also:Lahore and of See also:- KING

Hardinge's term of offic' in India was marked by many social and educationalreforms. He returned to See also:England in 1848, and in 1852 succeeded the See also:duke of Wellington as See also:commander-in-chief of the British army. While in this position he had the See also:home management of the See also:Crimean War, which he endeavoured to conduct on Wellington's principles—a See also:system not altogether suited to the changed mode of warfare. In 1855 he was promoted to the See also:rank of field- marshal.' Viscount Hardinge resigned his office of commander-in-chief in See also:July 1856, owing to failing See also:health, and died on the 24th of See also:September of the same See also:year at See also:South See also:Park near Tunbridge See also:Wells.
