George Robert Gleig (20 April 1796 9 July 1888) was a Scottish soldier, military writer, and priest. In 1813 Gleig gave up a scholarship to Balliol College to join Wellingtons army as an Ensign in the 85th Light Infantry. A year later the young divinity student was sent to the war against the United States, where he fought in five battles (Bladensburg, Baltimore, New Orleans, Washington and Fort Bayo) and was three times wounded; after peace broke out he resumed his scholarship at Magdalen Hall, Oxford in 1816. He took holy orders in 1820. This volume from the journal of his travels in 1837, while Chaplain to the Chelsea Hospital, was among many books written by him during a long & fascinating life
