George Monro (British Army officer)
Lieutenant-Colonel George Monro (sometimes spelled 'Munro') (1700–1757) was a Scottish-Irish soldier. He was an officer in the British Army best remembered for his resolute but ultimately unsuccessful defence of Fort William Henry in 1757 during the Seven Years' War / French and Indian War and the subsequent massacre of his garrison at the hands of France’s Indian allies. These events were made famous by James Fenimore Cooper in his novel ''The Last of the Mohicans'' (and subsequent tv/film adaptations).
==Early life==
Monro was born in Clonfin, County Longford, Ireland to a Scottish military family in about 1700. His father was Colonel George Munro of Auchinbowie who was famed for his victory at the Battle of Dunkeld in 1689. His mother was Margarat Bruce from Scotland. George also had an older brother, named Alexander, and a sister called Margarat. George's grandfather was Sir Alexander Munro of Bearcrofts.
Monro joined Otway’s Regiment, the 35th Regiment of Foot, as a Lieutenant in 1718. He appears to have had an unremarkable military career. By 1750, he had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
