Oxford, between 1766 and 1768. He then travelled on the See also:continent of See also:Europe, and in 1772 unsuccessfully contested a See also:parliamentary seat in See also:Perthshire. In 1774 he married a daughter of the ninth See also:Lord See also:Cathcart, and took a See also:house in the See also:Leicestershire See also:hunting See also:country. After a few years, owing to the See also:state of his wife's See also:health, Graham was compelled to live mainly in the See also:south of Europe, though while at See also:home he was a prominent sportsman and agriculturist. In 1787 he bought the small See also:estate of Lynedoch or Lednock, a few See also:miles from See also:Perth. In 1791 his wife died in the Mediterranean, off See also:Hyeres. Graham tried to find See also:distraction in renewed travels, and during his wanderings See also:fell in with Lord See also:Hood's See also:fleet on its way to See also:Toulon. He joined it as a volunteer, served on Lord See also:Mulgrave's See also:staff during the British occupation of Toulon, and returned, after the failure of the expedition, to See also:Scotland, where he organized a See also:regiment of See also:infantry, the 9oth See also:Foot, Perthshire See also:Volunteers (now 2nd See also:Battalion Scottish Rifles). Graham's men were the first regiment in the See also:army to be equipped and trained wholly as See also:light infantry, though they were not officially recognized as such for many years. In the same See also:year (1794) Graham became member of See also:parliament, in the Whig See also:interest, for the See also:county of Perth. He saw some active service in 1795 in " conjunct expeditions" of the army and See also:navy, and in 1796, being then a See also:brevet See also:colonel, he was appointed British See also:commissioner at the headquarters of the See also:Austrian army in See also:Italy. He took See also:part in the operations against See also:Napoleon See also:Bonaparte, was shut
up in See also:Mantua with Wiirmser's army, escaped in disguise, and after many adventures reached the relieving army of Alvinzi just before the See also:battle of Rivoli. On returning to his regiment he served in more " conjunct " expeditions, in one of which, at See also:Messina, he co-operated with See also:Nelson, and in 1799 he was sent as brigadier-general to invest the fortress of Valetta, See also:Malta. He blockaded the See also:place for two years, and though See also:Major-General See also:Pigot arrived shortly before the See also:close of the See also:blockade and assumed command, the See also:conquest of Malta stands almost wholly to the See also:credit of Graham and his See also:naval colleague See also:Sir See also:Alexander See also:Ball. In 18or Graham proceeded to See also:Egypt, where his regiment was engaged in See also:Abercromby's expedition, but arrived too See also:late to take part in any fighting. He took the opportunity afforded by the See also:peace of See also:Amiens to visit See also:Turkey, See also:Austria, See also:Germany and See also:France, and only resumed command of his regiment in 18o4. When the latter was ordered to the See also:West Indies he devoted himself to his duties as a member of parliament. He sat for Perthshire until 1807, when he was defeated, as he was again in 1812. Graham was with See also:Moore in See also:Sweden in 18o8 and in See also:Spain 1808-1809, and was See also:present at his See also:death at the battle of See also:Corunna. In 1809 he. became a major-general, and after taking part in the disastrous Walcheren expedition he was promoted See also:lieutenant-general and sent to See also:Cadiz (181o).
In 1811, acting in See also:conjunction with the See also:Spanish army under General la Pena (see See also:PENINSULAR See also:WAR), he took the offensive, and won the brilliant See also:action of Barossa (5th of See also:March). The victory was made barren of result by the timidity of the Spanish generals. The latter nevertheless claimed more than their See also:share of the credit, and Graham answered them with spirit. One of the Spanish See also:officers he called out, fought and disarmed, and after refusing with contempt the offer of a Spanish dukedom, he resigned his command in the south and joined See also:Wellington in See also:Portugal. His seniority as lieutenant-general made him second in command of Wellington's army. He took part in the See also:siege of See also:Ciudad Rodrigo, and commanded a wing of the army in the siege of See also:Badajoz and the advance to See also:Salamanca. In See also:July 1812, his eyesight becoming seriously impaired, he went home, but re-joined in See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time to See also:lead the detached wing of the army in the wide-ranging manoeuvre which culminated in the battle of See also:Vittoria. Graham was next entrusted with the investment and siege of See also:San See also:Sebastian, which after a desperate See also:defence fell on the 9th of See also:September 1813. He then went home, but in 1814 accepted the command of a See also:corps to be despatched against See also:Antwerp. His See also:assault on See also:Bergen op Zoom was, however, disastrously repulsed (3rd of See also:February 1814).
At the peace Graham retired from active military employment. He was created Baron Lynedoch of Balgowan in the See also:peerage of the See also:United See also:Kingdom, but refused the offered See also:pension of £2000 a year. In 1813 he proposed the formation of a military See also:club in See also:London, and though Lord St See also:Vincent considered such an assemblage of officers to be unconstitutional, Wellington sup-ported it and the officers of the army and navy at large received the See also:idea with See also:enthusiasm.

In his latter years he resumed the habits of his youth, travelling all over Europe, hunting with the Pytchley so See also:long as he was able to sit his See also:horse, actively concerned in politics and voting consistently for liberal See also:measures. At the See also:age of ninety-two he hastened from See also:Switzerland to See also:Edinburgh to receive See also:Queen See also:Victoria when she visited Scotland after her See also:marriage. He died in London on the 18th of See also:December 1843. He had been made a full general in 1821, and at the time of his death was a G.C.B., Colonel of the 1st (Royal Scots) regiment, and See also:governor of See also:Dumbarton See also:Castle.
