Henry Hawley
Lieutenant General Henry Hawley (c. 1679 – 24 March 1759) was a British Army officer who entered the army in 1694. He was born about 1685 and was given a commission in the army aged 9 years old〔see Charles Dalton book 1904 of Army lists and commission from 1661 refers to the unsavory cases of children entering the army very young. A special case for this was made as Henry Hawley's father was Francis Hawley who was made a Brevet-Colonel in 1692 and was killed at the Battle of Steenkerque. Henry's younger brother Edward was given an army commission aged 6 years old in 1692. These events were in response to the boys' mother Judith Hughes Hawley petitioning the King for funds and a position for her sons. The two boys are listed in the will of General Erle so it may be that he was a kinsman. Erle refers to the boys' father and uncle as "brothers" in his will. 〕
==Early life==
He saw service in the War of Spanish Succession as a captain of Erie's (the 19th) Foot. After Almanza he returned to England, and a few years later had become lieutenant-colonel of the 19th. With this regiment he served at Sheriffmuir in 1715, where he was wounded.
In 1717 to 1730 he was Colonel of the 33rd Regiment of Foot〔(Duke of Wellington's regimental website, Colonels of The Regiment )〕
After this he served for some years in Britain, obtaining promotion in the usual course, and in 1739 he arrived at the grade of major general. Four years later he accompanied George II and Stair to Germany, and, as a general officer of cavalry under Sir John Cope, was present at Dettingen. George II was the last British monarch to lead his army into battle.
