Sir William Inglis was a British Army officer who had a long and successful career. He served across the British Empire in several campaigns, but it was his actions in the Peninsular War (1808-1814) that were to earn him national fame.
He showed enormous personal courage and leadership under fire at Albuera in April 1811. Despite being badly wounded he remained with his hard pressed regiment, lying below their Colours behind the ranks, and encouraging his men with the words, Die hard, 57th! Die hard! Despite mounting casualties, the 57th held their ground.); © National Army Museum
