M'LEOD, Charles 26 Nov. 1806 16 Aug. 1810 Lieutenant in 62nd Regt., 21st March, 1800; Captain 3rd West India Regt., 22nd April, 1802. Served with the 43rd; expedition to Copenhagen in 1807; in the Peninsula, at the Coa, when he succeeded to the Command of the Regt.; at Busaco; storming of Ciudad Rodrigo. "As the rear-guard approached the Coa, we perceived that a part only of our cavalry, infantry, and artillery had yet crossed the bridge; it became, therefore, indispensably requisite for us to keep possession of a small hill looking down on and perfectly commanding the bridge until everything had passed over, cost what it might. I trust I shall be pardoned for saying that the soldiers of the old and gallant 43rd, and that part of our own Battalion whose lot it was to defend this important hill, against a vast superiority of numbers, proved themselves worthy of the trust. If any are now living of those who defended the little hill above the bridge, they cannot fail to remember the gallantry displayed by Major M'Leod of the 43rd, who was the senior officer on the spot. How he or his horse escaped being blown to atoms, when in the most daring manner he charged on horseback at the head of a hundred or two skirmishers of the 43rd and of our Regt. mixed together, and headed them in making a dash at a wall lined with French infantry, which we soon dislodged, I am at a loss to imagine. This gallant officer was killed afterwards, whilst heading his Regt., at the storming of Badajoz, and was sincerely regretted by all who knew him."-Leach's Rough Sketches. 29 Mar. 1861 30 June, 1863
